I don't see a problem with sending several representatives to the Wikimedia Summit, instead of 1, as would be the case if there was only Wikimedia Russia (that would be a Wikimedia Summit problem). But cells of Wikimedia Russia or other national chapters voting for ASBS elections is a different thing, as it unfairly duplicates the vote of the communities that follow that strategy.
