Conformal mappings of surfaces of constant mean curvature onto compact bounded background spaces are constructed for Minkowski space-time and for Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes. In the black hole example, it is found that initial data on these CMC surfaces can be regular on the compact background space only when a certain condition is satisfied. That condition implies that the shift vector points inward from all parts of the boundary of the compact background. It also implies that the second fundamental form of these surfaces can never be isotropic when black holes are present.
