Speaking as someone who was on the US board, and was part of the previous discussions with the Chapters working group, I think at the time, both the US Chapter and the OSMF were in difficult places, both wanted to work together, but not sure what the best way was to represent their constituents. The goals of the two organizations was very different, and so it seemed easier to table the discussion and simply move on without a formal agreement until a later time. It would be wonderful for the that later time to be now, and I think we have the right people in both organizations to make it happen. - Serge _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
