LCCWG report on implementation plan for addressing systemic offensive behavior

On 9th of December 2020 a group of community members sent to the osmf-talk* mailing list a statement Calling People to Take Action and Confront Systemic Offensive Behavior in the OSM Community (.pdf on the wiki, Gdoc here) asking amongst others: people to support the statement, help co-write and translate it and OSMF to implement the suggested changes. The content of the statement was locked on December 16th and it includes the names of 310 community members and 47 organisations in support. The board has asked the Local Chapters and Communities Working Group (LCCWG) to work with other parts of the community and come back in January with a suggested course of action. The LCCWG subcommittee which was formed for this task presented this report on the 29th of January. The board discussed its response during the February screen-to-screen board meeting and asked the LCCWG to present an implementation plan (steps and time frames) at the March board meeting. The board also urged the LCCWG to accelerate implementation of moderation of the talk lists in less than six months and clarified that it does not expect a rewrite of the etiquette guidelines in that time frame. Related discussions: 2021-02-06: Decide on our response to the moderation subcommittee report Messages on the osmf-talk mailing list. 2020-12-10: Question by Rebecca Firth (guest), as a representative of the group that has drafted the call to action. 2020-12-18: comment by Nicolas and comment by Pierre Béland (guests). * osmf-talk is the mailing list for OSMF members (Join).

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.
