Hello Quim, Thank you for the information. It was not quite a surprise, as we did not hear much of Space in the last time, and I must confess myself that I only used it in the iniatial phase and somewhat later. I feel sorry for those who invested time and energy in it. I am interested in a

You are probably responding in your personal capacity and not as an AffCom member. So, I am going to take this as your personal opinion. But if the intention is to begin to recognize country-specific or region-specific cemeteries, I doubt you will be able to manage the potential conflicts that may
