[talk-au] OSM - NSW NPWS liaison

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

Hi Graeme

I have been attempting to set up a dialogue between Parks Victoria and  
OSM, so far unsuccessfully. I think its a step forward if NWPS wants  
to liaise with a Liaison Officer. I would give them a Liaison Officer  
and at the same time encourage them into the community. The OSM  
Liaison Officer would explain to NWPS that OSM is a community and   
mentor them into the community.

Graeme, please find out whether their contact person is representing a  
region or all of NWPS. If appropriate, can you give me their contact  
info, either on or off list. I would like to talk to them and see if  
it helps get Parks Victoria to appoint a Liaison Officer.
