Here, too, we gave quite a bit of careful thought to the decision. We felt that if we did not disclose that we were on the CWG, that it might be seen by some as a lapse of transparency. Further, I think it's relevant that we're on the CWG, as it shows why we are interested in this topic, and indeed suggests that we are going to be able to make sure that it benefits the whole community. It is also a credential: there aren't a lot of communications-focused people in OSM, and I want it to be clear that is where I, personally, am coming from. In Marjan's case, it is relevant because she is doing a good percentage of this work in her capacity as an OSM volunteer, which she takes very seriously, and not in her capacity as an employee of TomTom. Here, again, it would be nice to have the best of intentions assumed instead of the worst. I stand by the decision to disclose our committee affiliation.
