"The *Data Working Group* ([email protected]) is authorised by the Foundation to deal with accusations of copyright<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Copyright> infringement and serious Disputes <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputes> and Vandalism <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vandalism>." As I understand this, the French cadastre integration is not concerned by any of the DWG attributions. It is not its role to check how good or bad the integration of external data has been made, when no one complains about it, when the map has been improved by this integration, and when the local community is perfectly OK with it. What happened on 15th september looks like an abuse of authority to me, as this largely exceeds the limits of the mandate given to the DWG. I expect a clarification from the OSMF board on this point.
