Kevin, sure I agree that the ICPS services the world and is probably the
most global society. But it is also strongly biased towards the US (and I
could narrow that further and say California!). Steve noted that the
nomination process will be more international in the future, so it seems
this first-time process is being used as a seed to start things moving.
I don't mean to offend other societies when I say the ICPS is probably the
most global society. When I first wrote this note, I used the word
``international'' but I realized that some of the Euro-groups clearly
are more international than the ICPS.
