<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My name is Peter Rushforth, and I’m with the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation, at Natural Resources Canada. We are in the planning stage of a workshop on maps
in the Web platform (HTML), together with the W3C and the OGC. The workshop will be collocated with the OGC TC meeting, June 15-17 2020 in Montreal, Quebec.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am sending this email to see if OSGEO might be interested in being invited to participate (by presenting a short position paper, in person) in this workshop on the concept of
better integrating mapping into the Web platform standards, and if so, how.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The objective of the workshop will be to start a conversation between the geospatial (and geospatial standards) community, and the Web platform community, about how Web standards
could better serve the needs of Web mapping and users of Web maps.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
