Thanks for the terminology definition.  I imagine I would maintain web
pages about BITP & A/GITP (Americas' or Global)

Jon McC mentioned that he could add a list for the BITP.

Would you be willing to add two pages, which I'd write & maintain, one
for BITP, & one for A/GITP?  & also put a short description of each & a
link on the main buug.org page?

That would be a big help to me & the B & A/G itp's over the next month
or two, so I could baby step my way to getting this event it's own site.

Thanks in advance, if you can help me do that.
