Dear Tracy,<br>
<br>
My name is Sumandro. I was working with Jyoti and Geetha on these<br>
visualisations, and I created the maps we are discussing.<br>
<br>
Trinidad and Tobago is mentioned both as a country that has submitted a<br>
contribution to NETmundial and a country whose government has submitted<br>
contribution to the same.<br>
<br>
I am very sorry that the limitation of the projection and the size of<br>
the map leads to Trinidad and Tobago not showing up at all.<br>
<br>
Just to check you can go to the page<br>
(<<a href="http://ajantriks.github.io/netmundial/map_no_contrib.html" target="_blank">http://ajantriks.github.io/netmundial/map_no_contrib.html</a>> and<br>
<<a href="http://ajantriks.github.io/netmundial/map_no_contrib_govt.html" target="_blank">http://ajantriks.github.io/netmundial/map_no_contrib_govt.html</a>>) and<br>
view the source of the page. In the source, look for the variable 'data'<br>
and you will see that TTO is listed as one of the countries (and<br>
governments) that submitted contribution.<br>
<br>
Bests,<br>
