>> dear VisCom,
>>
>> I wanted to give you a heads-up about this - a Public Geodata press
>> release about the letter we're sending to the 25 European Environment
>> Ministers who will decide the future of the European Spatial Data
>> Infrastructure directive (INSPIRE).
>>
>> http://publicgeodata.org/Press_Release_Council_Letter
>>
>> It has quotes from myself and Markus in it, and mentions both of our
>> OSGeo roles, and has an explanatory sentence taken from the notes at
>> the bottom with a link to the osgeo site.
>>
>> The letter itself is very similar to the one that we sent to the
>> Environment Committee in Parliament back in March, which Markus signed
>> and the OSGeo Board approved a statement of support for - it just adds
>> a paragraph describing what happened since and has questions at the
>> end. This version is just coming from Public Geodata's 6000+
>> supporters, under Benjamin Henrion's signature. So OSGeo's only 
>> involvement here is its directors being quoted in the Press Release.
>>
>> If anyone has issues with this I would appreciate it if you could let
>> me know as soon as possible, because French and German translations
>> are holding up on this version being "approved"; ideally they should
>> be done tonight and this PR sent at 8am UTC+2 Wednesday; can hang on
>> til Thursday if nesc but shouldn't leave it later.
>>
>> cheers,
