Indeed!

>From my perspective: After NANOG 61 we should have a good grasp on who
all from this region is willing and able to participate. At that time
I suggest that we merge the interested NANOGers with the interested
RIPE'rs and form one BGP BCOP cross-regional working group to build a
single document which we can both publish (or we can choose one place
to publish if that makes more sense)...

I note that the RIPE "IPv6 Helpdesk" BCOP is being written using a
similar model, with folks from both regions working together to draft
a single document.
