I don't know if I am allowed to appeal or not so here goes anyway.
1. Many people don't know what the NATO grid is. True Many People don't
know what OpenStreetMaps is but Google Maps knows what MGRS is (the NATO
destination for US Army)

2. Map editing seems like it would be easier to me if the coordinate system
were easier to use, or maybe More than 1 of them? (again Google thinks so
and according to your help files aren't you guys sort of competing with
Google?)
3. Here in the States I think it is Subversive because because near as I
can tell Trump thinks just saying anything about NATO is Subversive (but I
may be wrong)
Is this enough to get this reopened? If not please inform me what would be?
(I am a retired GIS person who converted all my point files to MGRS for
ease of use, but just like OpenStreetMaps so far the people that published
my maps were also uninterested in adding other coordinate systems. Even
though the US National Grid (the civilian form of the MGRS, but they use
the same coordinates) is used by many US agencies...

I admit I like maps with Grids and the NATO one is the most common doesn't
that count?
(in fact I have heard some people say if it doesn't have a grid it is not a
map) doesn't that sort of make sense?
