It's the G7 that doesn't exist. G8 does exist. You didn't read what I said properly. Anyone from any of the G8 or G20 countries who has English/Welsh ancestry can ask their representatives to challenge the UK on the latter's claim to be for open data when that is obviously NOT the case given the 100+ year old data is still closed. I've not had problems getting overseas BMDs where the national language is English. I'm having more trouble getting Italian documents but that's because I don't speak Italian! -- Connie http://oursalmons.wordpress.com/

The Italians aren't nearly as organized as the Brits, tho. I wish I could sign, but I can't as a US resident. I'll send it on to my UK based friends. Hopefully it makes a difference. I wish we could submit comments to the project like on the US petition site so that we could explain how valuable this service would be to non-UK residents. Further - isn't the UK in a money crunch like we are? Wouldn't this be a prime money making opportunity to license the registers out?
