I<br>have re-send the request to autorise to Internews but have not received<br>a response so far. However, as I have been informed by IMS,
the<br>organisation we compile the data for who are on the ground by now, there<br>will be a meeting with the mappers + internews on the ground; therefore<br>I hope I have a response soon.<br><br>The good side of this, I have sent all questionable positions (many, as<br>the Geocoding in the country side is not as advanced as in PaP) to IMS<br>in the field and hope that while waiting for internews response we can<br>clean up/adjust our positional errors. <br><br>Thank you for your patience.<br><br>Regards<br>Sandra<br><br><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: David Fawcett [mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:david.fawcett@gmail.com" href="mailto:david.fawcett@gmail.com">david.fawcett@gmail.com</a>] <br>Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 6:50 PM<br>To: Jeffrey Ollie<br>Cc: <a ymailto="mailto:karl.guggisberg@guggis.ch" href="mailto:karl.guggisberg@guggis.ch">karl.guggisberg@guggis.ch</a>; Sandra Sudhoff; <a ymailto="mailto:talk@openstreetmap.org"
