[Aust-NZ] Re: Bid doc Draft 2

[Dr. Markus Lupp]

Hi all,

the bid document is very convincing and well-made. Congrats to you all.

Some first comments:

General: page numbering is missing (would help in locating remarks)

----
Executive Summary: A paragraph could be added, that South-East Asian 
Nations, especially Indonesia and Malaysia, have explicit Open Source 
Initiatives and use a number of OSGeo-projects for their SDIs. Sydney 
would be a venue easy to reacht by those countries.
If you like the idea, I could provide this paragraph.
----
Executive Summary (on page 4): A stay in Sydney costs significantly less 
than an average stay *IN* Washington, London, Seoul or Singapore.
----
Letters of support: depending on the time frame, lat/lon could provide a 
letter of support
----
1.1:  This paragraph (and the rest of the document sometimes also) lacks 
information about NZ (althoug the proposal is submitted by Aus/NZ).
----
1.6: Add "lat/lon" to list of potential sponsors
----

Regards,

Markus
