[Board] Proposal: Research Organisation Registry entry for OSGeo

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Peter,

We have just approved this during our meeting:
https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/131
https://www.loomio.com/d/2NztCM6x/register-osgeo-to-research-organization-registry

I have an action item to make this happen.

Best regards,
Angelos
