When I launched the Multilingual Go Book Project, I had assumed that it would be players in countries that were in the same situation as mine that would mostly respond to the chance of having an introductory book in their own native language.
What happened instead was mostly the opposite. It was the countries that already had a more established Go scene that eventually had people that wanted to help with the translations, because those countries had a larger pool of players, so it was more likely that one of them would have the time and generocity to participate/volunteer in a free project, even though those countries had other books and manuals available and didn’t really need another one. Despite that, some people there found it useful and I am always happy to learn that our efforts are fruitful. However, there is a lesson to be learned from this:
It is easier to sail into an existing harbor, than land your ship into a totally new shore.
We need to remember that people that want to promote Go are hobbyists and not professional promoters.
Go is my hobby, I am not an author, I am not a professional typesetter, I am not even a dan player, so my book is not much good. But those are the exact reasons why noone really complains much about it 
Similarly, the people that want to organise a Go Club or want to teach the basics in a school program or want to print some flyers/leaflets are doing it as part of their hobby, so yes, we can expect them to not be proficient at promoting/marketing/socialising or that they will actively choose to go to places where they think they have more chances of attracting other players, like a chess club.
Why would they choose to make their lives more difficult? It is something they want to do for FUN (after their regular job and despite their other obligations) and of what I’ve read the EGF is just the official body of those hobbists. They do not have huge budgets, they do not get paid a real salary to do what they do (they are volunteers if I am not mistaken) and a lot of them are not trained to do what they do because it is NOT their job, but their hobby.
This is why @Cchristina I said earlier that you are not really teaching EGF any lessons with what you said yo do. It is not a company, they do not have shareholders, they do not have quotas to fill. They are there to do their best for their hobby.
At the end of the day, we should always be aware that there are good reasons why things are as they are and we shouldn’t scoff at them, be snide at the people that are involved or pretend that those reasons do not exist or that they will go away or improve on their own with time:
- There is a reason why a lot of Go players in Europe are people that are/were into Anime: Hikaru no Go
- There is a reason why a lot of Go players in Europe are people that are into computers: AlphaGo and the years of publicity around it, plus the game is intriguing as a problem.
- There is a reason why Go is more likely to be played by people that like chess and other board games: They are already into a similar hobby and enjoy a challenge
- There is a reason why Go is easier to be taught in an organised ( maybe private ) school instead of a random public school: The organised schools already have a culture of clubs and it is easier to add one to them.
- There is a reason why Go is more popular in Germany, Great Britain, France, Russia, Ukraine than Greece, Iceland and Morocco (to name three countries from the D League of PandaNet EU championship). Actually there are many reasons for that.
And so on … Yes! We can all ignore all those things. Yes! We can pretend they are not there, but that won’t change them or make them go away. Thus, any promoting effort, just like any other problem that needs to be solved in the history of this world, needs to take into account the data, the facts and the reality that exists around the problem or simply fail to solve it.
