THis was the main, unsolvable point when I contacted them 4 years ago. They wanted a legal representative of OSMF in Belgium !

I shall not hesitate. It could be god to also build up the proposal, for the adminsitration as well as for politicians that we could meet too as they could be asked to support / decide. For example : 1/ where OSM could bring a more precise local map (eg. with maposmatic) ? 2/ where the OSM process of citizen contributions (that URBIS tries to have) could be helpful for the local authorities too ?
