If you are [...] in the U.S, Canada, Europe, Middle East, Africa, China, Australia or New Zealand...
I'm trying to parse that. It appears that you extend the program to a vast swath of the world with three notable exceptions. They are: 1.) the Americas south of the US (e.g. Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Bahamas, Argentina, etc.); 2.) most of the Asia--the world's largest and most populous continent--with the exception of China, and the Middle East (presumably not countries with perilous security--such as Syria, Iran, Iraq), thus choosing to exclude India, Thailand, Malaysia, Russia, Indonesia, Cambodia, and much more; and finally 3.) Oceania beyond AU and NZ (e.g. Samoa, Tahiti, etc.).
As an interested, curious reader, who has traveled widely, I was hoping you would characterize why you have chosen to exclude these areas. Clearly, the selection is inconsistent with regard to timezones: coordinating meetings in Chile is as easy as coordinating those in Canada, same for Thailand, as it is with China and Australia. The selection seems unrelated to language, since numerous people in Malaysia, Belize, and many parts of Oceania speak English, while supporting Spanish-speakers in Spain would be nearly equivalent to those in Argentina. Similar comparisons could be made with regard to electricity and other technical infra-structure, to literacy rates, or to governance vis-a-vis democratic v. totalitarian states.
I could imagine that you might be leveraging existing relationships already established within the countries included, yet it seems improbable that you would have relationships across the entire continent of Africa, the planet's most chaotic and fractious, by many measures, yet be unable to signup a single nation of South America.
So, in essence, what gives? I would be interested to hear how this came about.
