Well, since no one has made a stab at this yet, I went ahead and did some research on mission statements in general, and OSMF's mission statement.
*Mission Statement:* [US OSMF] is dedicated to improving the availability, quantity and accuracy of open-sourced cartographic information in the United States, its territories, protectorates and possessions. *Vision Statement:* To achieve this goal, [US OSMF] seeks to: - Promote public awareness of the Open Street Map. - Locate and secure freely-available public access to useful mapping data. - Function as a US Not-for-profit Corporation to handle any copyright and liability issues that may arise. - Serve as a point of contact with individuals, corporations, and government entities for securing data, equipment and funding for OSM-related activities. - Interact with the international Open Street Map Foundation to promote the issues and concerns of OSM users in the United States. Anyone else have ideas? DiverCTH (a.k.a.
