I was wondering about using "NorthAmerican" [lower case for the letters 
is fine] but for some reason I was thinking we needed to have a two or 
three letter sub-domain listing for the list.

I do not know right now what the sub-domain for the NA pages would be on 
the CMS server that is being worked on.  It would be nice, IMO, that the 
marketing@ would be using the same name as the NA web pages would be.  
It will be nice to not have to download and then upload the newest 
versions of the install files, to the libreoffice-na.us testing site.  I 
would be happy to take that site and have info about LibreOffice and 
screen shots, plus having links to the CMS server site for the project 
and info about getting on the marketing and users lists.

So would we be able to have the US Marketing list be the same 
"sub-domain" as the CMS server "sub-domain"?
