> Yes this is fine. The french OSGEO do it like this too. It would be good if you had a dedicated QGIS page on your website or some clear wording explaining that you are also the QGIS user group - otherwise it can get very confusing if someone else in Japan also wants to start a national QGIS user group. Ideally also registerQGIS.jp and forward it to QGIS.org or to your QGIS user group page.
