Risker/Anne
I think that the misunderstanding is here.
This is not "the" Wikimedia Conference, this is one of several
wikimedia/wikipedia conference.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCon (it's a limited example).
I think that the idea that this is "the" wikimedia conference is in the
head of someone.
Calling it wikicon, or wikiconference, or wikimedia conference change a
little bit.
No one can have another Wikimania, but all people can have their own
Wikimedia Conference/Wikicon/Wikiconference.
So the change of the name in "Wikimedia Affiliations conference" is an
imposition of few people to use a name that belongs to no one, neither
to affiliated members nor to individual wiki(p/m)edians.
