Comment (by iandunn):

 > Many meetups do agree to those rules and have lived by them for a lot
 longer than the "official" meetup accounts have existed, they're just not
 part of the foundations meetup account, usually due to existing for a
 significant amount of time prior to that program beginning. They should
 really be treated as a first-class citizen and not discriminated against
 just because the Foundation is not the entity paying the meetup dues.

 AFAIK what I said above is the Community Team's official position on it,
 but of course you can always try and change their minds or ask for an
 exception. They mostly don't follow Trac, so I think the best thing to do
 would be to publish a post on make/Community and make the case for your
 position.

 As a side note, I'm not saying that all groups have to be on Meetup.com.
 The `official-wordpress-events` plugin already supports pulling events
 from multiple sources, and it can be extended to support even more. As
 long as there's an API of some kind, we have the ability to pull in events
 from whatever platform an official group wants to use.
