Hi Mikel, (not discussing here the pertinence of task #1575). I already gave my views on the OSMF list prior to your election to the board but this episode is an illustration of what we should not see in OSM. I wish to emphasise that OSM has nothing to do with HOT's Activation Working Group

Hi Pierre and Noah, I like to add my 2 cents. Sorry in advance for not bringing a solution but instead here's a general suggestion: Maybe the OSM community should move to OGC's WMTS. TMS proves useful, is supposed to be fast, but so does WMTS. Moreover, WMTS is an OGC standard, and works fine
