The idea of regional meetings is mainly to have a scaled down NANOG to reach a much wider audience that does not have a large conference travel budget. This is rather similar to RIPE's meetings in Qatar, Moscow, Bahrain, Nairobi and Tallinn.
I am just back from very successful Regional Meetings in Moscow and Bahrain, where it's true that the focus is local members, and where regional meetings of any kind are often a rarity.
But Tallinn is the venue for RIPE 54, in the same vein as Istanbul (RIPE 52) and Stockholm (RIPE 50).
