Just adding the note from Ian who mentions N.American Ingot representation:

"Our partner in the USA is Bryant Patten of the National Center for Open
Source in Education. Other community members involved include Gabriel
Gurley from the USA and Evan Leibovitch from Canada, Alexandro Colorado
in Mexico. Anyone else is very welcome. Main focus in Europe initially
is simply because there is potential funding from the EU to get started
and we already have more partners in the EU trained as assessors and
using the technology."
