Hi,

When going through an unrelated audit of the site contact, I was looking at our International Site page here:

https://www.postgresql.org/community/international/ <https://www.postgresql.org/community/international/>

…and when going through the links, noticed a bunch of the sites were either dead, unsupported, or placeholders, including:

* Chinese (Simplified)
* Cubana
* Español (all 3 listed)
* Greek
* Italiano (Associazione Italian PostgreSQL Users Group)

Additionally, others sites have not been updated for at least a year.

Before removing the dead links, I wanted to raise the following:

1. Do the maintainers need to update the URLs? If so please contact me ASAP. I would like to remove them by the end of the week.
2. Do we feel that the international sites still provide value to the community at large? This is mainly to solicit feedback and not start a fight. Personally I am happy for us to monitor the sites (see point #3), but I want to ensure that these sites help drive adoption and usage of Postgres.
3. If we are going to continue having the international sites as a feature, we need some community guidelines similar to what we setup for the NPOs and community events. I would be happy to take charge on that if there are no objections.

Thanks!

Jonathan
