"Delete: ""Clarification: LEED for Homes cannot be offered outside of the US at this time because of the technical limitations of adapting the rating system to local codes and the logistical limitations of providing a uniform international verification network. This decision will be revisited in 2012. Canadian projects should pursue LEED Canada for Homes, offered by the CAGBC. Any project that registered with LEED for Homes prior to the release of LEED Canada for Homes can be certified under LEED for Homes.""

Replace with: ""Clarification: As a response to growing international interest in residential green building and LEED for Homes, USGBC has launched an international pilot. Project teams outside the United States and Canada may now apply to participate in the international pilot. If selected, project teams will need to coordinate with USGBC and an approved LEED for Homes Green Rater on meeting the program, verification and certification submittal requirements of the LEED for Homes rating system. This process will include determining Alternative Compliance Pathways (ACPs). For more information on the International Pilot and the process for certification please visit usgbc.org. Canadian projects should pursue LEED Canada for Homes, offered by the CAGBC. Any project located in Canada that registered with LEED for Homes prior to the release of LEED Canada for Homes can be certified under LEED for Homes."""
