In reply to Ryan Hellyer.

Why should they dictate either way? If some group feels that they can have a good WordCamp from just a given city that's fine. If others live in a geographically small nation and feel that it's best for their WC to be national, fine.

I don't see why it's the business of the WCS to dictate this at all.

PS: Before someone brings it up, of course they could prohibit a country-wide US Word camp and a European-wide one, specifically reserving those to themselves. That doesn't imply that they need to prohibit all national WCs.
