As has already been stated in this thread, yes.
For example, I was also surprised to see your
definition of 'North
America' being US + Canada, and not to include Mexico.
False.
We explicitly a repeatedly used the term "Canada and United States" because
"North America" includes Mexico, and we didn't think that was appropriate.
This is a discussion we seem to skip each year as a community - what do we
expect exactly of Wikimania, what do we want to
accomplish with it? What
are its goals?
If you re-read our call for input, you might see that this is precisely the
question asked:
We’ll also be asking in future for your thoughts about how to structure the
programme of each Wikimania to make it as good as it
can be for you, for
others, and for our community overall.
Ensuring that as many Wikimedians can come to Wikimania each year is of
little value if they event isn't as useful as it can be.
