The comment was made from the point of view of having a member of the 
TDF/SC participating in some of the discussions in order to get some 
implied acceptance of what we are doing. I think it would not be 
productive to go about organizing all by ourselves without some kind of 
TDF/SC involvement. The bottom line is, we really need representation on 
the TDF/SC for the NA American market. This will need to be addressed at 
some point as the time zones just do not fit with the present collective 
of the TDF/SC.

Cheers

Marc
