It doesn't work that way.

The UOW in Spanish is a great example; the first edition was organised by
the six Central American teams. Eventually, the project grew and we created
the Ubuntu-es Classroom team in order to organise the UOW, UUD and similar
events.

The thing is that we didn't create a new structure in first place. We did it
when we felt there was a need for it, not before.
