Quite right for we would surely eliminate all of North America as a venue selection, the seemingly only viable alternative. However, because at the end of the day some people of certain nationalities will be excluded, I'm quite certain they would feel discriminated against, should the venue be moved. These issues are, therefore, linked. And so now it is a matter of who gets included and who gets excluded. I like something Ted wrote earlier, that a static approach to this can lead to systemic exclusion. I think it's safe to say that's happening. Eliot
