I would tend to favour an acronym that will leave no guessing as to 
which group one is emailing to. However, in this case I would favour 
Carl's suggestion of "NorthAmerica.libreoffice.org" (yes, I know that 
uppercase and lowercase do not matter ... I just did it for an effect). 
This will make it completely obvious that we are talking of this region 
of the globe to anyone who is not proficient in EN. It beats any acronym 
that we could come up with. To be perfectly honest, whenever people 
speak of "North America", they normally imagine the US market first and 
foremost. So, in some regards, the change in name will still fill in the 
mandate from the TDF/SC of concentrating on the US market.

Cheers

Marc
