Being a non-profit isn't necessary[1] since the actual contracts have
to be signed by the TPF themselves for some insurance purposes. The
bid for a YAPC is very very similar to the bid for Frozen Perl[2],
except more so because the TPF puts themselves on the line for
cost-overruns.

[1]: I know for a fact this year's organizers are not a non-profit,
and I am reasonably sure last years were not either.
[2]: The bid for this year's YAPC was based on the 2007 bid for Frozen
Perl in structure, with extra information added in based on the 2010
and 2009 bids.
