I agree with Rachel's sentiment that we don't want the Initiative to be
seen - by the European's in particular - as US centric (which it isn't).
One way of avoiding that would be to express rates in UK Pounds, Euro's and
USD in addition to the local currency. Could be a bit cumbersome but will
smooth any potential ripples.
Downunder we would not be offended by the USD as we use that as a currency
benchmark for our AUD.
