Hi Tom
I wonder whether it is not a little precipitate to go so very public before offering more
elaborate visualisation tools than the extremely simple ones currently available.
It has been clear from the beginning that the primary intention of the initiative was to
provide solid mechanisms to define a geographical location-sensitive database, and this
seems ti have been achieved. However, the visualisation question has so far been shelved,
and we need now to discuss more elaborate means of presenting our networks in a visually
useful way.
The question to ask now is how may this be achieved in such a way that marcoms may more
easily incorporate products of this more elaborate tool. This will be a second phase of
the mapping project, with new expertises.
When do we begin?

Subject: [GREN-Mapping-WG] GREN Interactive map promotion
Hello Everyone,
I hope that this message finds everyone well.
Over a number of calls in recent weeks, we have been discussing taking the map to the next
level, for which increased engagement at a global level is highly desirable. In order to
consider ways to best promote this activity, we would like to arrange a meeting
specifically to discuss setting up a “campaign” to encourage greater participation.
The plan then is to arrange a meeting to discuss with interested Marcomms representatives
from those already participating in the collaboration, but also to invite Marcomms
representatives from those not yet closely involved (e.g. the regional networks in Africa
and Asia-Pacific).
To start looking at timings for the discussion, could you please let me know who I should
reach out to in your respective Marcomms teams?
Many thanks, and have a good weekend!
Tom
