The Ubuntu Nicaragua Community Council is composed by five members elected
for a period of one year by the official members of the Nicaraguan LoCo. The
team leader/contact is elected from these five members.

I am not aware that anyone has suggested that.  She is the Team Contact but

Why not set up a small team of local coordinators to act as contact persons
within Australia and let the current official team contact liaise between
the Australian Ubuntu community and Canonical.

I understand that some Ubuntu users in Victoria have been doing this.  Check
with Victorian LUGs.

The only things stopping these projects is are us?

True, however, an organised structure is essential - a "laissez faire"
system, as we all have found, does not work.
