Agree wholeheartedly! Especially for those who fall under “You’ve been several times before and we want to give a spot to a first-timer”. I imagine if you go to EAG every year and were suddenly rejected you’d feel like you were kicked out of the club. A huge part of community building in professional associations is going to an annual conference and getting to catch up with your peers, EAG is that way for those of us who don’t live in largely populated EA cities.

+1 to the analogy of EA Global as a professional association’s annual conference.

I also think this is a valuable analogy.
