Dear Manon, This new proposal is a big improvement over the previous proposal and properly addresses the many objections to place=refugee_site.
A flexible namespace with segregated data related to refugee sites will allow ongoing refugee site data maintenance by facilitating operator source data comparison in addition to easy refugee site data extraction (objective #3). I am supportive.
