There is a proposal pendiing to require Nationals be held "at venues located within the boundaries of USMS." If adopted, it would preclude Puerto Rico's bid.
How do we feel about it?

While I think having a USMS Nationals in Japan is signicantly less than desirable, I do not see a reason why having those events in the States or other locales that are under United States control is such a bad thing. Why not Guam? Other than the fact that almost no one can afford to go there which would in itself probably prevent a bid from there.
Why is there even a proposal to limit and/or otherwise state where a Nationals can be held? Isn't that what the Championship Committee is for? To determine suitability of bids? If a facility/organization has the required size, infrastructure, support and interest, then why not let them bid? If folks don't like the idea of Nationals being held in PR, then those folks need to put together a bid that is better than PR's. Beat them head to head, don't resort to setting an arbitrary 'rule'
