[Vasile Craciunescu]

Dear board members,

Following the positive vote by the Conference Committee for the  OSGeo Oceania TGP request [1], I took the liberty of adding the request to the today's board meeting [2]
with the kind request to officially approve the request.

Warm regards,
Vasile

Co-chair Conference Committee
