I am unclear about the WLL central notice. Is there a

somewhere that explains why this notice about a regional GLAM activity
would be a central notice rather than a USA specific Wikipedia
geonotice?
The centralnotice was requested by the same person who set up the
geonotice, and I'm guessing it's intended to ensure non-WP projects
are notified (Commons and WS are likely "interested parties"). It's
still targeted to the US and Canada only, but now running on multiple
projects.

There's no explicit policy I can see regarding not duplicating notices
globally and locally, but it's something I've always understood to be
discouraged.
