  • This week we offer some of our thoughts on the awareness of impact of government legislation on geography and geospatial community, advocacy, awareness – for example, being aware when bills that involve geospatial/geography are going through the process with poorly written and understood language – who should advise and comment on them, how community members can find out about them, etc.
