Everyone,
It seems to me that the candidates in question have
excellent qualifications for the
OSM board.
All have experience in GIS, in the private or public sector,
and some have management
experience, something OSM really needs. Also, all have editing
experience with OSM, whether
in the United States or outside.
I think quibbling about the volume of edits misses the
point. OSM needs strong organizational
leadership. No matter who one votes for, that should be the central issue.

I will make an assumption (and forgive me if I'm wrong) that both
candidates with 0 edits
are female. I am basing this only on names and a rudimentary
internet search. I think
before both candidates answer that question - you need to define why
they have a "complete
lack of OpenStreetMap experience," They have made edits. Were last
year's edits not good?
Were the other edits from other candidates better? How many edits
make an experienced
mapper? Non US edits are a bad thing when running for a OSM US
Position? If they had
only made 59 edits this year.........
