<span>This is an ICA (International Cartographic Association) initiative</span><br>
<span>apparently endorsed by the UN. The ICA is an international association</span><br>
<span>of national cartographic societies (in Germany the DGfK) which is</span><br>
<span>mostly focussed on traditional cartography and generally fairly</span><br>
<span>reserved towards crowd sourced geodata and community projects. The</span><br>
