<div class="PlainText">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am not sure if this was discussed here before, but last week I was <br>
nominated as the new Chair of the Technical Advisory Group for the UN <br>
OpenGIS Initiative; I was asked to attend the UN OpenGIS virtual meeting <br>
last week, and I was welcomed into the group.<br>
<br>
Here are the current members of the advisory group (I am copying this <br>
from a slide presentation I was provided) :<br>
<br>
Technical Advisory Group<br>
------------------------<br>
<br>
GeoSHAPE/OGS: Daniel Berry<br>
OpenGDS: Youngok Kang<br>
OSGeo: Jeff McKenna<br>
Geo for All: Jeroen Ticheler<br>
GeoSDI: Lorenzo Amato<br>
UNHQ: Guillaume Criloux<br>
UNGSC: Francis Mugambi, Shazia Noreen, Diego Gonzalez Ferreiro<br>
UN Missions: Amirkhan Imanov, Anandavel Kannan, Philip Hughes,<br>
Group Chair: Jeff McKenna<br>
<br>
<br>
I am still very new to the group so it will take me some time to adjust <br>
and learn, but I think this should be reported here to the OSGeo UN <br>
Committee, as I am representing OSGeo.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
