for the near term

the US will be a very different environment than Canada and mexico
is my guess

whether that impacts the participant "countries" i don't know

 In the spirit of IEPG and other international groups, should we
 broaden this to include all of North America? Someone here also
 suggested Central and South America.

 I also think this is a very good idea and we will help to support
 a change like this.
