Integrated Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). I now </span></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">understand that </span></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">there is very little
topic </span></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">overlap with IODP, so it might not be the </span><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;">appropriate</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> option</span></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. </span></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">My
suggestion is we as a </span></font><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">community start looking and speaking with other communities who are planning th</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">eir</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
own </span><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">TownHall events in AGU or other </span><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;">key</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> international scientific events </span></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">but
with more topic </span></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">overlap with OSGeo </span></font><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">to have OSGeo presented in th</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">eir</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
Town hall events. We can provide them OSGeo Live DVDs etc for distributing to th</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">eir</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> delegates
at thier events. That way we can reach out to more communities but also </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">scalable as we do not have pay costs for hosting the TownHall by our own. I think it is very important
to have strong presen</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">ce </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">of OSGeo in EGU, AGU, AAG and other key scientific events, so we need
to have presence in these TownHall events.</span></div>

<div>Hi Suchith,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks for your suggestion. The Integrated Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) is an international marine research collaboration dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth through drilling, coring, and monitoring the subseafloor. Members from this
community provided advice for budgetary planning when the first OSGeo Townhall at the EGU GA was prepared back in 2014. In my experience, the annual IODP Townhall events are always packed with amazing information about scientific drilling projects, so there
is little topical overlap and already too little time, as Townhalls last (only) 60 minutes. I propose we approach the IODP folks at next years EGU GA and discuss options for future cooperation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>best,</div>
