Sounds OK by me. Although, I think that, seeing that we are pretty well 
starting with very few NA contributors, the easiest point of access is 
to gather more people around marketing first to establish the 
LibreOffice brand in US/Can and then push for dev contributors. We need 
to establish a more robust acceptance of LibreOffice. Even more so than 
overseas, I think that MSO will try to mount a greater defence of its 
brand if it sees that there is an organised and methodical LibreOffice 
marketing push in its own backyard. Devs would be invited as a normal 
course of our organizing method.

Cheers

Marc
