Agreed.
+1 too. FAD is smaller than Flock or FUDCon. Some FADs are less than 10
attendees.
The process to organize a FAD is also different from FUDCon/Flock's one
and budget allocation process should be different too.

Also agreed. E.g. a rel-eng FAD would likely come from the central budget.
+1 too. This could make regional community more active.

Yes. Though it might require us to examine the regional budget
allocation a bit more closely after the first year to make sure
regions are getting enough budget to cover such things.
+1. Actually, we are doing something similar this.
