Dear Nathan,

The policy [1] is easy to read, and the statements are very clear (maybe 
excluding the "exception rule").

And yes, we have read the policy thoroughly:

  * *Each team will be a country (or state in the United States). We
    will call this a ‘LoCo’.*
  * *Each LoCo can have sub-teams. This sub-teams will be created _at
    the will and need of each LoCo._*
  * A LoCo may have sub-teams or not have sub-teams.
  * In the event a LoCo does have sub-teams, a Team Council needs to be
    created.
  * A Team Council is conformed by at least one member of each sub-team.
  * The members that will be part of the Team Council will be chosen by
    other current members of the team.
  * The Team Council will have the power to make decisions regarding to
    the LoCo.
  * The Team Council will also have the power to request partner items,
    such as conference and DVD packs.
  * *The LoCo Council will only recognize one team per country (or state
    in the United States). This is the team that will be in the
    ~locoteams team in Launchpad.*
  * In the event a LoCo wants to go through the verification process,
    the LoCo will go through it, and not individual sub-teams.
  * *LoCos not meeting the criteria of country/state teams will be
    denied verification.*
  * *In the event what is considered a sub-team wants to be considered a
    LoCo, it will need to present a request to the LoCo Council.*
  * The LoCo Council will provide a response, which is, in no way,
    related to verification. The LoCo will still have to apply for
    verification if wanted.

Finally, you say that *"**No existing LoCo teams are being 
reclassified". *This wasn't clear at all, and is great news for us. 
Nevertheless, I hope this policy won't cause problems to future teams in 
countries with "a complex organization".

Thanks,
    Felipe
