<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Jody,</div><div><br></div><div>thank you, just added to the agenda. Indeed I think this aims at being a global initiative rather than limited to Europe only. I have seen signatures from countries all over the world, as well as support from international organizations based outside Europe. I think that OSGeo should support this campaign to remark that supports the principle, as in this phase no political action is entailed. Local chapters as well should sign and, if any, take further political actions when the times come. In fact I have forwarded this also to the Italian local chapter and I invite all the community to do the same to your own local chapters.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jul 23, 2019 at 3:01 PM Jody Garnett <<a href="mailto:jody.garnett@gmail.com">jody.garnett@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">You are welcome to add it to the agenda to the the next board meeting (edit wiki page <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2019-07-29" target="_blank">Board_Meeting_2019-07-29</a>) , however we try and leave political influencing to local chapters - as it is more effective to have a local voice when talking to politicians.
