While it's quite clear what "commercial" means, I was more interested in "mapping" and especially the two together. I think most people would simply tell everyone about who they work for if it was at all questionably, so it wouldn't actually be a problem, but was interested in what people thought it meant. For example, I used to work for a small company which, amongst other things, produced plots of the survival rates of trees in plantations, so the owners would know if trees needed to be replanted and why they were dying. Are they a commercial mapping entity? In any case, treating it as any entity that sells geospatial data or similar is probably good enough. >> * Not that it would be like likely, but if 8.7 is invoked, how does >> the "secret ballot" in 8.8d work with proxy votes allowed by 8.9 and >> telecommunication/electronic involvement? > > That's probably a pointless rule given people don't live in a similar > geographical region.
