But the random process of selection insures that no country will be 
favored. Of course if the majority of volunteers is from North America...

I understand the problem and dearly sympathize with it, but any change to 
the random nature of selection would not be good. Heck, maybe someday we'll 
have a randomly picked nomcom with the majority from outside the U.S.
