Thanks for your ideas. Please allow me to elaborate:

I will hazard a guess that there are Ubuntu users in every major city
and town. Unfortunately, they usually have no idea that there are others
nearby. This comment is a recurring one: "I thought I was the only
Ubuntu user around here. You mean I'm not alone?"

Connecting these people together is critical to the incubation of LoCo's
(in the truly local sense, not CoCo's or ReCo's). Sure, many of the
newly connected people won't bother to start a LoCo, or perhaps won't
know what one is, or perhaps they'll start one that fizzles out.
However, none of those reasons should deter the CC from helping catalyze
the creation of LoCo's more actively and with haste.

Compare that to layering additional process and policy on an already
small LoCo list. Might that send the wrong signal at this point in time.
