What about Australia - home of Tim Starling among many others - or
even NZ if for some reason we are wanting to only hold these things in
developed countries. But i dont see what is wrong with the idea of
Brazil, India, SA, Argentina or somewhere similar. There are a
reasonable number of wikimedians in the larger countries in the global
south.

Dear All,
While I agree with the idea that we should send it all over the world year
after year, we North Americans are stuck. My country, the United States, is
very hard to get into and some of our Wikipedians from overseas will have
problems getting in, such as those coming from China. So, if the USA is out
of the question, why not try our neighbors up north, Canada? Well, if
Wikipedians have been convicted of a crime, they can see them being denied
entry. Such crimes include DUI's, can restrict this entry. Plus, Mexico and
other nations in that region might not have what we need. I know Japan can
be a good host, but other than Japan and some of Europe, we pretty much
can't really go anywhere else.
