Identifying and having a local regional representation is a good thing
and I dont think anyone here would disagree with that. However spanning
sub projects is not always worth the effort. If there is a active
regional community, nominate and have a leader among yourselves. That
can be a effective way.
In short, I agree with the need but not with the proposed method to meet
that need.
