Hi All.
I support the request to form an Oceania LC.
I also support Frederik's proposal for resolving the concerns that
people are raising with just one new contractual condition.
> Could we perhaps accept "supranational" local chapters with a
> contractual extra that goes like:
>
> "Should the community of an individual country (or smaller group of
> countries) within the*[supranational]* area claimed by $LOCAL_CHAPTER want to form their
> own local chapter in the future, the OSMF and $LOCAL CHAPTER commit to
> modifying this agreement to make room for the new XregionalX [*local*] chapter."
I do believe that regions with low development, poor internet and low
OSM activity should be able to form supranational LCs with a view to
collecting a critical mass for effective organisation, but subject to a
provision similar to the one Frederick proposes for breaking up the
supranational LC when conditions in the area improve.
I don't support suggestions that LCs should be culturally homogenous. My
country has a heap of official languages and contains multiple and
diverse cultures, but we are used to it and we get stuff done.
