Merge request[edit]

Global Forest Information System seems to duplicate the topic and some of the material of this article. The two should be merged into this one. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 11:26, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The official name of this initiative is "... Service" (as here), not "... System". Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 09:43, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Website, and?[edit]

Clearly, GFIS entails a website, GFIS.net. Does it include anything else? Should it be considered a website, an organization, or both? Clarification would be helpful. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 09:48, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
