[GNSS4DRR] Chat file for meeting #4

[John LaBrecque]

Dear Colleagues

Our Tonga members experienced communications difficulties during the  June 12 meeting #4. Therefore there was considerable messaging on the chat line led by the Director of the Geospatial Information Services. Halalilika Erika. I thank Tonga for these important contributions. I apologize that I did not engage during the meeting simply because I paid all attention to the video meeting. Thees  important messages are highlighted below.

For those who will attend the IUGG, I am working to encourage the GRC to host a Brunch on Sunday July 16 for a combined hybrid meeting of the GRC and the GTEWS_Oceania which has been identified as an important  project of the GRC. Please let me and Katia Kontar know if you can attend this Meeting Brunch on Sunday July 16.
