And if somebody [1] had asked then there is an obligation to provide that person with the list of members. But that's not the same as broadcasting the information in public to everyone. You, as a member of OSMF, can request a list of members but that probably wouldn't disclose email addresses and you might not be able to infer if anyone on the list was a Skobbler employee. Announcing that a large number of Skobbler employees is exceeding the obligations that the board has. That announcement should not have been made. 80n [1] As I recall only members can request a membership list and they have to provide a reasonable justification for their list. Failure to supply the list can be challenged in the courts.
