In reply to George Stephanis.

Nobody is suggesting that, the point is that National WordCamps seem to now have restrictions placed on them that are ott, heck WC US, is ok but not other nations? I think city based ones are cool, but having an additional National one where people from all over the country can meet in one central place is also important. If a country has a proven record of well organised National WordCamps why take it off them? By your own argument one central organisation dictating who and who cannot have a National WordCamp is even less friendly or community-orientated.
