I'm not certain how this addresses the concerns raised by Andrew Lester and Pierre Béland, and I seem to recall one other person who expressed concerns.
I think it is important that their concerns are addressed. Perhaps they would be kind enough to comment on whether or not this approach addresses their concerns. Do we have a concern that some mappers have been importing buildings further than say twenty kilometers from where they live? Have you found volunteers of local mappers in Alberta British Columbia Manitoba New Brunswick Newfoundland and Labrador Northwest Territories Nova Scotia Nunavut Ontario Prince Edward Island Quebec Saskatchewan Yukon Who will be willing to oversee the import in each province? Does this mean the smaller provinces may not see any data? How will you handle cities of say 80,000 population in a smaller province who have an interest in seeing their buildings available but have no idea on how to contact the provincial group? If we go back to earlier times it was a suggestion in talk-ca that we use the single import approach and it was mentioned at the time there didn't seem to be a list of local mapper groups in Canada. I'm not saying the approach of a single import as far as the import list and talk-ca followed by a procedure of locally organised mappers bringing in the data is wrong I'm just trying to ensure the project moves forward and we are in agreement.
