My point is that you need to find a group of people who are able to meet in person to work in support of the common goal, whatever it may be.
It helps if you can define the common goal first.

So the long term goal would be moving towards keeping members of WM-CA together than deciding distinctively city vs national?

However, I must now agree with our Australian counterparts that it is quite difficult to complete the goal without local face to face meetings. We had conducted voice meetings on Teamspeak which were more helpful than IRC, but the lack of real life contact I think cost us our momentum. In respect to City vs national, I think establishing any in person meeting would be a lot better for the cause. I wouldn't trouble myself too much with city vs national, but how one can find at least 6 people who are willing to meet in person on a regular basis to get it done.
