Residents of the Caribbean are ARIN members and members of the community. 
Also, Canada! IMO, it is equitable to site meetings in other ARIN nations 
occasionally, that attendees from them may have more modest travel costs. 
Not to mention that entering the good ole USA as a furriner is rather less 
fun than it used to be.

YMMV
