Dear Yukio,<br>
<br>
Thank you and we are looking forward to expand our collaborations with IGU.<br>
It will be great to share these ideas at IGU conferences and newsletters so<br>
more colleagues and students can make use of these opportunities.<br>
<br>
It will be great to have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to establish<br>
a collaborative relationship between the Open Source Geospatial Foundation<br>
(OSGeo) <a href="http://www.osgeo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.osgeo.org</a> and the International Geographical Union,<br>
similar to ones with International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote<br>
Sensing (ISPRS), International Cartographic Association (ICA) etc.<br>
<br>
Details of the MoUs below<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ISPRS" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr>MOU_ISPRS</a><br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr>MOU_ICA</a><br>
<br>
I will connect you with the OSGeo Board separately so we can follow up this.<br>
Looking forward to expand our collaborations.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
