[Geodata] Re: [Aust-NZ] NZ geodata on OSGEO?

IMO:


Brent,

If we are to host this data via OSGeo, I would prefer to do so with LINZ's 
blessing, rather than through an interpretation of a license agreement.

There have been some encouraging actions towards OSGeo and OS spatial 
software from the NZ Government.

Would you like to approach Brendan acting in your position as a Director 
(elect) of OSGeo-AustNZ? 


If not, I'm happy to do so.
