<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleague <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have now completed the draft report and we are looking for comments. You can find our draft report at
<a href="http://crowdgov.wordpress.com/the-survey/" target="_blank">http://crowdgov.wordpress.com/the-survey/</a> and we are looking for comments until the end of this week (31<sup>st</sup> May) – especially for the first 20 pages which are the core of the analysis.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you can, please forward this message to other people who might have information about this issue.
<u></u><u></u></p>
