Thank you Althio and Maning, we'd love to have you at the next community call (at the top of the hour) as well, but I'm reading these as we're getting set-up and that's motivating as well. =Russ

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 _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
