Hi Tom, This is an example of the first way I and I think others in the humanitarian world need to use OLCs to evaluate them for what they can or can not solve for humanitarian and other use cases: https://twitter.com/BlakeGirardot/status/1028689726088388609 We need to deal with them at scale,

Hi Frederick, I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I think for the most part we all agree on the technology solution really looking like the best option. But it is the best option in the medium and long term. In the short term, putting a few thousand plus-codes in as addresses, while the local
