The problem is there have been problems with both the data quality and licensing of imports in the past.

Whilst I'm very confident this import meets all the criteria needed for an import I really would recommend formally doing a formal import write up and running it by the import mailing list.

I've been involved in imports in the past and if you talk to them first it goes a lot smoother otherwise you run the risk of a complaint and having all the imported data removed.

Thank you @mbranco2 and John for the comments,

Please correct me if I am wrong, my understanding of an import is when you integrate data into the OSM database coming from a third party. The data we are adding was generated from already existing OSM data, which was imported following the import guidelines.

Regards,
Geoffrey

    Thank you Rebecca, luckily you sent your answer to me too (not
    only to the mailing list), so I got the document  :-)

    I think John is right, the best thing is to inform the import ML:
    submitting there the (well written) document you sent me should be
    an excellent starting point.

    Ciao,
    Marco

        Hi,

        Marco - The document is set so anyone can view it, but in case
        that is not working for some people I have added an offline
        copy in a previous email but it is pending an admin of this
        list to approve it.
        John - the data is actually derived from data that is in OSM
        already based on the tagging of school locations (which have
        sub district tagged already) - it's taken from this field, so
        the data is already from OSM.

        Thanks,

        Rebecca

                Hi everyone,

                Thank you so much for the continued support for HOT's
                Covid response. I'm getting in touch with a message
                for experienced JOSM users, in case you have some time
                to support our response in Cusco Peru where I live.
                The goal is to map 20993 place names mostly of
                hamlets, villages in Peru to complement the ongoing
                COVID-19 HOT activation for Peru.

                The task is here: https://tasks.hotosm.org/project/8301
                And the instructions are
                
here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CEL1syh6FNl36plurvKSp-2NGGx5fFWS-uL2viD7p80/edit#heading=h.u2sbpt8odktw

                Thank you so much!
