<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The DRC is a huge country and very
poorly resourced area. <br>

connections between population centres, remote areas and core
areas and the public facilities in remote areas. <br>

Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You may be aware that OSM DRC has applied to become an
official Local Chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. As
part of the application process, we would like to ask you,
the OSMF membership, how you feel about this. Do you support
this application? Do you have any questions, comments or
concerns?</div>
