Challenges & Solutions
Challenges:• Growth of WSC unlimited, creating
resource and manageability problems Solutions:• Upper limit of seated communities is set
by the number of state, national, and provincial bodies or the number of seats allocated to zones

Challenges & Solutions
Challenges:• Lack of clear seating criteria can
encourage regional splits
Solutions:• State/nation/province seating will
encourage regional reunification

State/National Seating Option
• Slows growth of WSC
• No change for some, big change for others
• Establishes clear requirement for seating
• Encourages reunification

Zonal Seating Option• Could significantly reduce
size of WSC• No alternates at WSC• Changes role of zones• Method of selecting
delegates and zones undetermined
• Possible unforeseen circumstances such as decentralization of services
