Indeed, the conference of affiliates that you've attended in the past is
valuable and worthy. I'd suggest you allow others interested to attend if
resources permit, but I wouldn't ask you to fundamentally alter the nature
of the event. Merely make it clear whom you represent, so that others don't
feel you claim to represent them when you do not -- as Ilario seemed to
with his "principle of delegation" comment.

It's different.
The question to limit participants is more an organizational question
than a need to close the access.
Personally I supported a lot the idea to have "regional" or "thematic"
Wikimedia conferences.
The affiliated groups uses the name "Wikimedia Conference" but this name
doesn't belong to them and they don't require that it must be unique.
Naturally if they decide for the name "Wikimedia Affililiatons
Conference" they must have the right to ask that no one will use the
same name in organizing a conference.
