Perhaps the Group Formerly Known as the International Old Lacers could  
rechristen itself as A Lace Guild. The indefinite article "a" would exempt the  
group from charges of ambitions of world-wide domination or provincial  
arrogance, as it acknowledges that it is simply one among many lace related  
groups. 
People who choose to associate the letter A as referring to the  continent of 
North America may do so implicitly, not explicitly, making it  unnecessary to 
deal with the chartered groups in Canada, Puerto Rico and Ireland  on a case by 
case basis in the title of the organization.
