 Dear colleague



You might recall that I have contacted you in February about our
commissioned research from the World Bank Global Facility for Disaster
Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) on the use of crowdsourced geographic
information in government.



We have now completed the draft report and we are looking for comments. You
can find our draft report at http://crowdgov.wordpress.com/the-survey/ and
we are looking for comments until the end of this week (31st May) –
especially for the first 20 pages which are the core of the analysis.



If you can, please forward this message to other people who might have
information about this issue.



Many thanks

Muki Haklay, Byron Antoniou, Sofia Basiouka, Peter Mooney and Robert Soden
