I Agree that there may be merit in:

ReCo = Regional Community (for States and Provinces)
CoCo = Country Community (for Countries)
LoCo = Local Community (for Towns and Cities)

I'm in Australia and we have one LoCo, to cover 8 States & Territories, with numerous towns & cities in each region.
It is mightily difficult to get together (physically) for a release party, when you have members 5hrs away (by plane).

IMHO, communities are build at the grass roots level, at a Town or City.

Some questions could be:
What would be the role of a CoCo? How would it be structured (Governed) ?

I'm sure that a lot of the current LoCo's struggle with these questions (Australia being no exception), and there seams to be no clear guidance on how to resolve the issues.

I also agree that it is not an easy thing to start a Loco, so maybe this could be something that a CoCo or ReCo could advise interested Ubuntu users on how to do so.

Just a few thoughts.
