Good ones, Maning! Very inspiring. Here is my brain dump of ideas, wishes, concerns and requests. No priorities either. Not a complete assessment, just my point of view. What I want from the Board: A global overview of the running organisation. A strategic view of the key positions and organisation bottlenecks. A clear roadmap and to-do list of most-needed actions, most-wanted features, most-blocking blockers. Directions. Priorities. Guidance. Decision to allocate efforts and money where it helps the most. With open decisions, always motivated; open debate whenever it is possible, open budget. Transparent. Reports. Feedback. What I want from the Board and/or Governance WG: Board rotating, eg. 2 seats every 6 months, 2-year term. For all processes including nomination and vote for board and membership: clear requirements, extended periods, no rush. eg. announcement, 1 month for nomination, 1 month for discussion, 1 month for vote. What I want from Projects and Working groups: Project manager(s) collecting, organising ideas and proposing to-do lists so that more contributors can help without having to figure out the entire organisation or project structure and needs. More documentation. I would like to see more collaborative work done by online text pads, more exchanges on WG email lists, more polls and decisions and reports with collaborative online tools. There is a wide diversity of languages, a range of language proficiency, time zones, personal time availability, limited network access... What kind of diversity do we want in the Working Groups? _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
