Subject: NZ QGIS Users Group<br>
<br>
Hi Brent,<br>
we are currently improving the management of the users groups. We are<br>
requesting all groups to:<br>
* have an elected representative (who will also become that groups<br>
voting member)<br>
* purchase of the country domain or similar with a page host.<br>
AFAICT, there is no NZ qgis domain. Would it be possible for you to<br>
purchase it? Please do not hesitate asking in case you need any assistance.<br>
All the best, and thanks.<br>
