  When I was an in-house, we had marketing people flown in from 6 European countries (sometimes teams of 2-3) and from the US to discuss the website for a few hours. It took months and months of meetings like that.

  The guy from the US kept insisting on things like 800x600 compliance, was very vocal about not wasting screen estate with whitespace and bragged about his US clients being very different from European audience. Months into the process, when everyone agreed to bulk of his changes and the watered down web styleguide was published, the guy unexpectedly quit and moved on to another company.

  I knew he wasn't to be trusted when he came in to my desk one day just upon arrival from the airport and pulled out a new Jakob Nielsen book, very excited about it.
