Your understanding of new member admission is correct, however, these decisions are made by majority vote, so I still have little individual say. The problem we face in HOT on this issue is getting enough members to approve new intakes rather than the actions of individuals. I still fail to see

Dear all, I've enjoyed reading these emails this week, but have stayed out of the discussion. I just wanted to clarify some quick points: 1. I have not discussed my running for the OSMF Board with any other candidates 2. I have not discussed my running for the OSMF Board with the HOT

Re: [OSM-talk] From osmf-talk: "Balancing the presence of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT US Inc) in the OpenStreetMap Foundation"

Thank you for a thought-provoking reply. I am neither a HOT voting member nor an OSMF voting member, so I'm probably unaware of any internal politics that are going on. I do chair the HOT Training WG, which I see as an attempt to solve a problem: hundreds or thousands of volunteers who want to

How do you perceive these "dangers" will manifest themselves? Dave F. On 24/11/2015 23:01, nicolas chavent wrote: Hi all, Apologies for crosspostings, resending to talk an email sent to osmf-talk about the HOT US Inc presence at the Board of the OSMF. Best, Nicolas Dear OSMF voting

Re: [OSM-talk] From osmf-talk: "Balancing the presence of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT US Inc) in the OpenStreetMap Foundation"

It's an open election, open to anyone to stand and open to anyone (members) to vote for who they choose. Not to be blunt, but if you don't like that, propose an amendment to the governing rules which can be voted on. In other words, to paraphrase the techies, patches welcome Dave

My personal view is it doesn't really matter. It is an election as I understand it so members do vote for whom they wish to represent them. Perhaps a larger concern might be the concentration of board members from a particular country or region. Cheerio John On 24 November 2015 at 18:01,
