I've mentioned before that my standpoint is that it's impossible to properly police every fan driven event out there, and I seem to recall that use of a trademark by fans in a manner that isn't making profits is generally considered acceptable use.  Is it not therefore a good-enoungh way to start by allowing (CTR instead of RTC as it were)?

Absolutely. We don't even *want* to police every fan event. And we want a LOT of fan events. The nuance is the moment we give our Official Seal Of Approval to a group/event/organization, then we are implicitly approving their message, and that's where we introduce audience confusion.

Why do we, as the ASF and/or as community.a.o want to give our Official Seal of Approval to small events / meetups?

To be clear, I'm *not* suggesting that we refuse to help.  We can - should! - support groups that request it, but I'm asking why there's any de-facto expectation that there should be an Official Seal of Approval for small events / meetups.
