Perhaps we, as the U.S. chapter, play a role in creating or sustaining

Yes. To substantiate this, I looked at communications from the US chapter
I looked through the current board term and the previous board term.
In the current board term I counted 15 blog posts. The breakdown of these is
7 conference
3 indoor computer-based events
2 non-OSM geo-related projects
2 chapter administrative
1 HOT
Last year, it is similar, except the conference itself was within the
time collected
21 conference
10 indoor computer-based events
4 chapter administrative
1 HOT
The conference blog posts tend to be primarily around the time of SOTM
US. Several blog posts had a theme of government data.
Twitter is primarily tweets of blog posts, but has a similar breakdown.
Looking at the photos on Twitter, they are
7 indoor computer-based events
3 conference-related
1 HOT
Based on this, I would have to conclude that the US chapter is
supporting the view that OpenStreetMap in the US does not include people
doing surveys in their local area, but is primarily conferences,
government data, remote mapping, and HOT.
