NPc Compact and interest groups?

[PenguinTrax]

Is it a matter that the local group wants to affiliate with an NPC or that the local group wants to stay local and join the local PC?

The the case of the former, the local PC may not have the statistics that show the campus can support another group. Yes, in the example you've shown, the startup group has 60 members. But, can they maintain those numbers in the long run? If the campus statistics show that the number of women going through recruitment won't be enough to maintain those kind of numbers, then expansion shouldn't happen.

In the second example I mention, there are facilities within the NPC agreements that allow local groups to become associate members of the PC, but only if the local PC has allowed for that within their own Constitution & Bylaws.
