[Venkatesh Raghavan]

I have made some minor edits to the draft AGILE-OSGeo MoU
at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_AGILE#Memorandum_of_Understanding

More comments inline.

Jody, can you edit the draft MoU so as to reflect changes
you would like to incorporate based on you feedback below?

Changed

from
"Exchange designated official representatives to the principal annual 
meeting of each organization. Registration fees for one official 
representatives will be waived;"

to

"Exchange designated official representatives to the principal annual 
meeting of each organization. Registration fees for one official 
representatives will be covered by respective organizations;"

Once the draft is finalized, it can be taken up with the AGILE consul for
final conclusion of the MoU.

Best

Venka
