Yes, you're right that the JDX work is US based, though I would 
emphasise that the people involved try not to be exclusively US centric. 
The hope is that the W3C Talent Signal group will widen the group of 
people involved, and that non-US organisations will join. Whether they 
should liaise directly with JDX as well would depend on to what degree 
they wanted a bilateral arrangement compared to a wider common framework.
