[Talk-bd] Cooch Behar Esquimos

[Larry O'Neill]

Dear Dr. Whyte,


I recently came across your 2002 study of the Cooch Behar enclaves of India
and Bangladesh, and it has made for captivating reading (although I have not
yet finished it).
Your study came to my attention when I was looking at refinements that could
be made to the Bangladeshi border on Open Street Map.
My realisation that the projects current border may be inaccurate came when
I found someone had given St Martins Island to Myanmar (first and subsequent
drafts, until today)
While I was aware of the existence of enclaves along the border, the number,
size, and complexity of them is something I could never have imagined.
With a view towards further refinement of the Open Street Map data, I am
hence asking for permission (on behalf of osm.org) to use some of the maps
included in your document as a source for our map.
If you require a more formal request or further details on Open Street Map,
please do not hesitate to ask.


Thanks
Larry O'Neill
