<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">My name is Peter Rushforth, and I’m with the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation, at Natural Resources Canada (a Canadian government department). We are planning
a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) workshop on maps in the Web platform (specifically HTML), together with the W3C and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The workshop will be collocated with the OGC Technical Committee 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 the OpenLayers project 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 does OpenLayers see this. Even if you believe that the Web platform standards are already good enough for mapping, it might be worthwhile staking that out as a position.
If you are interested, though, we would certainly welcome you to also be part of the program committee.<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 the conversation between the geospatial (and geospatial standards) and Web platform communities, about how Web standards could better
serve the needs of Web mapping and most especially users of Web maps and the Web in general.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
