Advisory Board - monthly update
| The Advisory Board members are separate from the OSMF board of directors - individuals are either nominated by corporate members of the OSMF or invited directly by the OSMF board of directors. The OSMF Board of Directors will publicly minute, in the board meeting minutes, any communication sent to, or received from, the AB members. This monthly section is reserved for this purpose. Overview. AB related Board discussions: |
| Lead: Martijn |
- Some AB members had a meeting during State of the Map 2018, and spoke briefly about their own activities and the Welcome Mat project.
- The public SotM 2018 online registration list was sent to the AB members by the SotM organising committee.
