The idea of "local community" is relative.
The freedom of build a new distro therefore should be considered a try to divide up the GNU/Linux users ?
The main thing is to assicure yourself that all "local communities" respect, support, share, spread the fedoraproject values by its representatives.
Robert is too of part to be impartial about this issue.
I agree.

I would add that Legal should not approve trademark license agreement
to the unknown if the local community already exist.
Example if my neighbor ask to register the greatitalianfedora.it, the
request should be rejected if the owner is not involved in the local
community.
But they need to understand how the local community works.
It's not easy, neither fast.
At least guidelines would help define a process and prevent end users
to ask for his own website reference…
I agree.
