2 points in my PR here:

  1. Let's be clear on the responsibilities that the PyCon APAC committee will hold, which gives it the right to endorse certain parties to hold the conference
  2. Although I get what this is trying to do, as we're not a registered legal entity ourselves, I do not think it is appropriate to set as a requirement that the organizers are also registered entities. This also needlessly raises the bar for new comers: Nearly of us started our PyCon adventure as individuals getting together and that didn't make the conference less good as compared to with a legal entity.

The above text proposes that a certain group 'owns' PyCon APAC. The below text also puts forth certain rules and requirements which would-be organizers needs to adhere to before they can be _considered_ as eligable to organize PyCon APAC. If we endorse a certain party, I think we also need to be clear on the responsibility that we hold as the party that endorses a certain organizer. We cannot just say "yes, you can hold PyCon APAC" but do not follow through on issues that might occur after that.

Better break this to multiple lines. It'll make commenting easier.

This paragraph doesn't look like part of the document, but your comment for the document, @iq8al ?

Yes, those are my comments, which should be overwritten with the real text if we can come to a conclusion @yungyuc

I prefer to put comments and discussions in github issue/PR tracker. In this way the document itself remains self-contained.

If we really want to put our comments into the document, we should explicitly mark it. Because I don't like this idea, I am not proposing a format. But I think such a format should include a clear todo mark (XXX, FIXME, etc.) and a the commenter's identity.

@iq8al could you go with either way (or another option you like) in your next update of this PR?

Ok, the issue tracker is there to be used anyway, so comments will go there instead. Proposal to editing the document can go as PR then.
