That sounds like a reasonable approach.
Thank you

I would agree to one import plan with an appropriate validation
mechanism. I am concerned that the buildings they provide in rural
areas come from Canvec. Over the years I have deleted/modified
thousands of them (Canvec buildings) and I would not like to see all
of them coming back.

do we wish to import it?
From my initial glance at the data...seems pretty good and
accurate(again I didn't check all the cities nor do I expect them all
to be having same level of accuracy)
The two I've been eye balling are Kingston and Rimouski which seem to
be very accurate at first assessment. If we do want to import them, a
formal draft up will have to be done though

This is just a formal post to get a feel.
In Ottawa the building outlines were of high quality and I feel
have enriched the map.
If we do should we consider it one project across the country or
leave it to the local chapters to make the decision?
I'm thinking that Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver certainly have
local groups of mappers. There maybe others.
The other thing to consider is there are remote locations that may
not have a group of local mappers so taking a country wide stance
would not leave these locations in limbo.
Taking the decision across the country would mean only one import
plan and approval and after the Ottawa experience with
OpenStreetMap import red tape it might be easier than a dozen or
so different import plans.
I'm not thinking of the mechanics of the import yet. That is a
different issue.
If you could reply saying you think its a good idea or shouldn't
be touched with a barge pole also if you could indicate country
wide or leave it to the local groups to make the decision I would
be grateful.
Thanks John
