Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware of this. Do you know where
I find the list of project officers? Does the same thing apply to
sponsors and local chapters, or is this just for software projects?

The people listed on the wiki page are already working on the journal
team and have some relationship with the chapter or software project.
The tables on the wiki page were intended to help the journal team
keep track of things related to the annual report, not to sow
widespread confusion among the other parts of OSGeo.

committee is keeping."

You may have misunderstood the purpose of my e-mail, or perhaps I
didn't communicate clearly. I'm not asking you to update any contact
information on this wiki page. You don't need to edit the wiki page at
all. I'd like some help to figure out if I'm missing a software
project, sponsor, or local chapter from my list.

If there is another place to get that information, then I apologize
for pestering. Please keep in mind that it is a major project to track
down annual report information from all our moving parts.
