Not at all :-).
It is mandatory to invite people from Puerto Rico and we have made provision.
As for US Virgin islands I met in the e.gov meeting in Barbados a wonderful
person extremely sensitive and clear at the subject of caribbean cultural
diversity who would be a perfect invite ... but I discover later he is ...
the Ministry of Foreign Affair of US Virgin Island and this would put him
first and us also in a cumbersome situation.

I will send him a salute and the document of the project as a cortesy and
reminder and I could ask him for suggestion from his country if Puerto Rico
invitees are failing.

In fact it was first from a non profit corporation called CLARIN (or
something like that) and then UPR took control in a fight with them and
transform a beatiful project with high regional sensitivity into a weapon
for the OAS policy with a project called CUNET which was closer to
gatkeeing than to gateway... Old stories ;-)
