Maybe that question can't be answered because it treads toward membership selection. If it is disregarded, THAT would be stupid.

My guess, and of course I don't really know about other groups' policies, is that groups that have policies that heavily tip towards hometowns work hard to develop hometown-based systems and networks. So it's quite possible that mom's out of state XYZ friend would be able to find out whom to contact in the PNM's hometown to offer information.
Honestly, though how accurate and informative will a rec from a mother's friend from out of town be? Sometimes, if the PNM is actually a good kid, it will be great. But mom's out of town friend isn't really going to know anything that makes a PNM a less than desirable candidate, and sometimes groups need to know.
Again, I'm willing to bet that groups have policies that work for them. When chapters realize they are missing out on great PNMS, they can work within the GLO to make the changes they need.
