[Foundation-l] Wikimania 2006 - host city contest to open onSeptember 1st 20

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.

Regards,

Zachary Harden (Zscout370)
