== Resources ==
* Legal counsel from OSMF pro-bono lawyer.

== Notes ==
''Discussion on email from OSMF pro-bono lawyer on draft guidelines.''
* Email requested by [[Licensing_Working_Group|LWG]]. Not shared yet, waiting for signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA) ''(signed so far by Simon and Kathleen, waiting for Michael, Jim)''.

<u>On board and LWG versions</u>
* Collapse attribution issue is the key difference between the board and the LWG versions.
** Changes: 1 attribution shown to people who see but don't interact, 2 consequential changes and 3 wording clean-up.

<u>Response</u>
* Facebook feeling that LWG has been overridden.
* Board version took LWG by surprise.

<u>Other points mentioned</u>
* LWG has requested a red-lined version of their draft. Diff provided by board.
* Communication issues.
* Simon Poole ''(LWG chair)'' is retiring. 
* Guillaume has asked Dermot McNally ''(past LWG member)'' whether he'd be interested to rejoin.

<u>Suggestions</u>
* Board do a circular that the LWG version is not acceptable.
** LWG is aware.
* Meeting with LWG.
* Perhaps contact other lawyers in the future.

=== On standard tile license === 
* New LWG written tile license mentions copyright also to OSMF. 
* Attribution more complicated and contradicts image and what existing attributors are doing.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright<br>
"If you are using these tiles please use the following attribution: “Base map and data from OpenStreetMap and OpenStreetMap Foundation”. "

[With the new phrasing] people who have attributed in past are not in compliance.

<u> Suggestion</u>: Email LWG.

== Decisions ==
* Get back to LWG and ask for the remaining NDAs to share OSMF pro-bono lawyer's feedback.
* Communicate to LWG that the board will not provide a red-lined version.

== Action items ==

* Allan to remind LWG about waiting for the signed NDAs to share OSMF pro-bono lawyer's feedback.
* Paul to put explanation of the board attribution changes in writing and explain that the board won't provide a red-lined version.
* Paul to collaborate with Tobias on emailing LWG regarding the tile license attribution and rewrite specific part of copyright statement.
* Rory to email OSMF pro-bono lawyer.
* Tobias to collaborate with Paul on emailing LWG regarding the tile licence attribution and rewrite specific part of copyright statement.
* Dorothea to schedule video meeting with LWG during 2nd week of October.
