Long term, let's "do nothing" and see what happens. I mean to say that we should just let WLM grow and morph organically in a natural way. We have a successful formula today in the Netherlands, that's for sure. The decrease in entries for 2012 over 2011 only shows how extraordinary the amount was in 2011 and the effort last year was bigger than this year. But we sure got lots of gorgeous photo's again in 2012, so why stop ever?

will become a bit more exhausted regarding WLM, however as being 'the country
that started it all', I think we should keep participating if only to
implicitely support the other countries by having a lot of countries
participate. Although indeed most organisations will be focussed national,
being part of something big worldwide will certainly help there.
And if you have the lists already, the organisation is much easier.
