If this is possible, this would be great. I would immediately request
an extension of 3 months for Australian data. Our situation is, as
noted, amongst the worst: much of the major core data was contributed
by very active mappers who eventually declined the CTs, and left the
community. So not only do we have a bigger hole than most communities,
but we have less people to repair the hole.
