It will be. This is the PostgreSQL *global* development group and project,
after all. Yes, there is definitely a slant in the project in general
towards the US side, as is true in many other such projects, but in general
we have decent coverage of other cultures and countries as well. We can't
cover them all on the committee (that would make for a gicantic
committee), but we can cover it with people who are used to communicating
and working with people from other areas as well, which makes for a better
understanding.

It won't be perfect in the first attempt, of course, but that one is
covered.
