I would like to see just a little bit of "official" legalese posted
somewhere that I can point to when I go to contact someone about using

the FHWA Highway Functional Classification System. There's a wiki page [1]

I'm definitely of the "small government" party for what OSMF (and by
extension local chapters) should do.
But one of the roles of OSM
How do you think the Chapter should do that? Organize a working group?
An (online) event? A vote of some kind?

I'd like to see more discussion and guidance for the US local chapter.
So, questions for the community:
1) What would you like to see the US local chapter do?
2) Why should this be done by the local chapter, and not by individual mappers?
3) Why should this be done by the local chapter and not
Is there a place on the wiki where this is spelled out or at least an area of
