Hi proj folks,
If you had one slide to pitch the proj.org project to Google's Geo team,
with the aim of getting Google to engage in the proj project, what should
be on that slide?

I now have a job at Google (outside of Geospatial), and have been asked to
present to Google's Geo team about misaligned maps due to tectonic plate
movements, and what to do about that.
I'll be drawing upon time dependent datum descriptions

I helped with when working with Australian geospatial government agencies.
Also an associated deep dive presentation
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mmRo71ZYHhSjgmZva1VitlBWeM4WGJawDf5Ydrd28AY/edit>
from these agencies to the OGC.

I plan to include a slide suggesting Google engage with the OGC, OSGeo, and
the proj.org project. What should be on this slide?
What are the current challenges the proj.org project faces?
Where would you like help?
What should Google be doing differently?
