The slides seem to ask the same question i posed to Max last week.

I suppose the question is then, are there still high shipping tarifs
between EU and/or European nations?  Ideally it would be nice to have
this Event Box available for all of EMEA, but if we can only manage EU
for now, that will have to do.  The second question is, like Max said,
who wants to handle the paperwork, Fedora EMEA or Red Hat.  Either
way, the NA ambassadors have it mostly taken care of via Max.

FWIW, my two cents are on having Fedora EMEA handle the banking side
of shipping. I will bring this up at the next meeting.
