Do we want to move away from our fannish side? Isn't that what makes us unique?
If not, what makes Swancon different from Ghengiscon, Waicon and Supernova? (If we don't differentiate ourselves, they'll eat our lunch! We can't compete on size or cost.)
Swancon is a formula we exported east on several occasions. What has changed to make this a sub-optimum formula?
If we're growing at a nrate matching or exceeding population growth, are we failing?
Do we face a risk of diluting that which makes it feel like family for so many of us by growing too fast? (This complaint was levelled against Gothcon 1 AKA Swancon 21.)
I'm not saying what you are proposing is wrong, I just don't want us to go too far :-)
