To all members, I wholeheartly urge that something should be done and have read with intrest the suggestions thus far. I like the idea of an Xmarks flag, a quaich or something that is created by one of the members.

I hesitate at the idea of a cache where you take something out and put something in. I think in the terms of quarantine, customs, endangered species laws, just to name a few.

I am of the hope that whatever is selected can easily and smoothly travel to every country where Xmarks members reside, without having to worry about infringing upon local laws.

Just as an example, I will use CDNSushi's idea of soil from the Highlands (just using this as it's the last post I read, so I am not picking on the man) To get it into Australia it either has to be commericially bought say from a tourist shop and in an airtight sealed bottle cause if someone just digs it up it has to be declared to Quarantine authorites and irradiated to make sure that there is no nasties (at cost to the receipient )

Just some thoughts on what members should keep in the back of their minds when considering items that may become the next "traveller"
