Partial review

I haven't checked every reference yet to confirm that all claims are supported, but I've spot checked:

• This article does not establish the long-term widespread notability of the organization. Please read and understand WP:GNG. This can be addressed by reliable sources (WP:RS), such as (print or electronic) newspapers, magazines, journals, books or perhaps government reports which support claims made in this article. LOS works have been cited elsewhere, and in scholarly works, as seen with the Find Sources (Scholar) link above.
• Many references are WP:PRIMARY, sourced to LOS, and press releases. Primary sources are also reliable about themselves. This is necessary, but not sufficient: independent RS are also needed. Wikipedia reports what independent reliable sources state about organizations like LOS, not just what LOS says about LOS. This means primary sources can remain, but claims should be supported by independent RS.
• Suzuki's blog is arguably reliable due to his notability, but an independent news story, in addition, is desirable.
• Some "references" are merely links to website home pages which do not, in prose, support the claims made - these are actually footnotes. These can remain, but claims must also be supported by RS. Are there RS which support the footnoted organizations' association with LOS?
• The article reads like it was written by editors with an interest in LOS. This brings in WP:POV issues, and Conflict of Interest policies. Please read WP:COI: organizations and staff should not write articles about themselves. It was, and COI has been discussed. Contributions of more reliable sources are very welcome.
