Are you signaling your belief that we need some strategic planning? If so that's good news. Just the planning to do a Strategic Plan is a lot of work. Can you take to the OSMF Board a proposal that we need to initiate a committee that will start the planning and possibly run a Strategic Planning process? Personally I'd like someone like Steve Coast head this effort up but I can't speak for him or his availability. I also agree with you that OSM isn't going to break any time soon. If OSM can survive the licensing change, it can even survive a strategic planning process. -- Clifford OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
