[OSM-talk] Applications to the Local Chapter Agreement
Simon, I note in [1] that there are now three applications to the Local Chapter Agreement [2] and these are being processed now. In light of the current discussions on transparency and holding the board to account, can I ask whether it possible to disclose these just in case there are any other local groups that feel they represent the geographic regions included in the first three applications. Also I'm curious :-) Best, Rob [1] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2014-October/002697.html [2] http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_OSMF_Chapters ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Applications to the Local Chapter Agreement
Hi Rob I had the feeling that I had announced something outside of the board, but that may simply be a figment of my imagination. Applications have been received from Iceland, Italy and Japan. All three have the honor and the pain of having to beta test the procedure, mainly providing us with some additional documentation. I'm sure translating the respective articles is the main issue, but I can't see how minimal due diligence can be avoided without creating a liability nightmare. There are further organisations that have indicated their willingness to join us and I would expect a few more applications in the next couple of months.

On behalf of the Icelandic applicants we are fairly sure that we are the only ones representing our area and we will strive hard to include others who will be or are interested in the area. We have a small blurb in English about us on our webpage, the OSM affiliation would be presented under OpenStreetMap á Íslandi (in Iceland) where applicable. http://www.hlidskjalf.is/english/ Regards, Jói, current chairman Þann 22.10.2014 23:10, skrifaði Simon Poole: Hi Rob I had the feeling that I had announced something outside of the board, but that may simply be a figment of my imagination.

Re: [OSM-talk] Applications to the Local Chapter Agreement
Thanks Jói, I was never seriously expecting there to be any conflicts over geographic "territory" and I'm confident that you are best placed to know of any other groups in your area. My question was more out of curiosity - I'm glad I asked because I've discovered new groups I was unaware of :-) All the best, Rob *Jóhannes Birgir Jensson* *Thu Oct 23 08:47:05 UTC 2014* -- On behalf of the Icelandic applicants we are fairly sure that we are the only ones representing our area and we will strive hard to include others who will be or are interested in the area.
