If we are going to allow other English NL groups to set up their site, 
how could we then refine our website landing identification. I would 
want to land on the Canadian site. As it stands now, if I go to 
libreoffice.org, it will shuffle me to the international site as my 
browser is in English. Is there a way that the Website gurus could 
figure this out?

BTW ... I am French Canadian and am usually sent to the French site as 
my browser is in French. Hmmmm .....

As you are all aware, this will open up the creation of quite a few 
sites now that we would no longer be operating really as NL (language 
based sites) but as Country sites. So, the EN, FR, ES languages sites 
will see their membership lessen and fragment into smaller country 
driven sites. But then again, the FR and ES sites can be more 
accommodating due to their not being the international landing site.

If we now return to the original problem, it was to have the 
US.marketing team have some kind of presence on (I guess at this point 
we could say ANY) section of the website. But I realize now that the UK, 
AU, NZ marketing teams also were lacking presence anywhere on the site. 
But then the same could be said for the FR and ES countries, although, 
if they advertised their marketing teams on the FR and ES websites this 
would not cause as much controversy as the EN international site.

Is there any other option that we should consider?

Cheers

Marc
