Although i think the Upu has some serious conflicts in their members and
goals.
Deutsche Post and British Postal Service are both members, and both
claim copyright
on the postcode database. So the members of the UPU do not conform to
the claimed "public good"
of addressing.
I think OSM could be a major piece in generating addresses for the
billions
currently unaddressed - still - its a huge task.
