- 2020-12 Board meeting decisions to:
- Publish the current board draft after giving the Licensing Working Group (LWG) a heads up.
- Ask LWG to summarise the points they still consider open from the comments on the board document and ask Dermot McNally (LWG member), who has no conflict of interest, to present that report at the next LWG meeting.

Advisory Board - monthly update
| Background
|
The Advisory Board members are separate from the OSMF board of directors - individuals are either nominated by Local Chapters and Gold or higher 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.

OpenStreetMap Philippines by Feye Andal.
About this monthly section:
In 2020 the board started hourly discussions with Corporate Member representatives on the Advisory Board and inviting Local Chapter representatives on the Advisory Board to give 10' presentations during public board meetings (this slot). A year later, during the 2021-04 board meeting, delegation of the Local Chapter presentation scheduling was suggested by the Secretary (Rory McCann), who was previously solely responsible for that. Mikel Maron and Eugene Alvin Villar offered to help with organisation.
