Perhaps one way to do that would be to use funding to get people from NA 
over to the non-NA events.  If that will make it be so that the 
"everything happens" in somewhere other than NA.

I think no matter how you slice it, a bunch of people from one 
hemisphere need to fly to another hemisphere in order for it to seem 
like a "everything happens" kind of event.

What if this proposal was flipped on its head.  Don't hold a NA fudcon 
and instead use the money to export a bunch of people to EU and have a 
global event there?
