So, are Chicago and Dallas (which are also in the US, and city-based) operating without "permission"? And what about the other teams not in the US that are city-based? Perhaps they are serving their localities in ways that only local teams can do? I can't and won't speak for them, but I'm guessing they are doing something great in their areas and should be expressly and enthusiastically encouraged, especially by those in leadership positions. Let's not make excuses that talk people out of starting groups in their cities, or to seek permission. And, let's not pretend this is a technical issue we can fix with a code patch. Cheers, Randall.
