May I also request the Regional chairs to please ask the main leads of existing
GeoForAll labs to please create their OSGeoid and update their lab info . For
example many of the IberoAmerica labs are not listed in our new website.

Thank you for your help with this.
Best wishes,

We are now moved to new website and many of these labs are not listed in the
new website. You need to create your own OSGeo id for this. Please goto
