Without speaking on behalf of any one of the existing groups, I could put forward parts of the rationale. By a stroke of fortune or, perhaps due to the intrinsic nature of FOSS development models, L10n teams tend to be small, cooperative and work across a spectrum of upstream (and, downstream) projects. Such close-knit working styles mean that they can build upon shared experiences but more importantly, work towards a much more rich content-localization. A Regional Group is, to my mind, a somewhat official recognition of a federated group of folks who work on various locales but by geography or work focus end up helping each other out in the various stages of their workflows. Having a Regional Group allows them to come together under some _project_recognized_ forum_ and get more work done. Identifying a few 'leaders' who can coordinate with upstream and within towards building shared resources and tools would augment the power of the individual groups. > For all the NLC projects, I would like also that they think about > Regional Groups and where it could improve their communication but also > their work.
