Nooo, no, no: Denmark is neither US nor part of Euroland.

Those were my 5 øre ;-)

Good.

I suggest as a next step to put it up at http://wiki.debian.org/ 
somewhere.  And then ask again here if anyone has 
additions/corrections/whatever - and when done (even if complete silence 
for a few weeks) file a bugreport against debian-policy cc this list 
(i.e. mention this list when asked for additional addresses in 
reportbug).

I have no experience in policy changes, so I might be wrong about the 
process - above is just a suggestion in case you don't know better.  
Please anyone do correct me if it is an ill approach.

Not sure I understand where you are getting at.  Sure I will continue to 
contribute to Debian in general, and if policy changes then that affects 
my future contributions.

If you mean if I will join you in actively agitating e.g. at 
debian-devel@ or debian-policy@ or perhaps even take the lead, then no 
promises: Please do keep this list in the loop, and yell as you did 
yesterday if you fel too few pay attention to some specifics, then I 
will do my best at throwing comments when I get enlightened.  But I have 
many many things on my TODOs and this one is not highest priority for 
me, sorry.
