I'm glad you are interested - I didn't mean others wouldn't be  
interested.  What I meant was there are people right now who are  
expressing an interest in running an event.  They've come forward,  
and no one else has put together such a proposal.  But some of the  
discussion on this list sounded like nothing should be done until  
there is a formal, global, plan for this so it's not only a single  
event in the USA.  That didn't make sense to me.
