Hi Folks, I agree that a good discussion is useful but at the same time the OSM community needs to understand what a hassle it can be to have these tracks in OSM and having no, or little, control on how any other app/web interface may show them.
I actually favour deletion as well but understand that is not the 'OSM way of doing things'. A full discussion may help the agency, and OSM contributors understand the issues on both sides. I also think it would be useful for others to join in the US trails group so that a more international perspective can be applied to this issue. The situation can be very different across countries (especially legally).

If Parks NSW can be persuaded to funnel all/most such map changes through one person like Guy it could be good. Invite him to join talk-au so he can understand why illegal tracks are such a difficult problem for Parks and OSM. Eventually it would be good to get the tracks undeleted and modified with a lifecycle prefix but the discussion is more important at this stage than the outcome.
