|'' Discussion withabout membersways ofto strengthen the relationship between the [https://www.hotosm.org/ Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team] board about ways to strengthen the relationship between HOT and OSMF. Suggestions that might be discussed:''
* ''Inviting HOT to the [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Advisory_Board Advisory Board] upfront, formalising our relationship and assuming that it will eventually lead HOT to become a Corporate Member or a thematic Chapter, which would get a seat on the AB anyway.''

* ''Better communication channels (both social media and board to board communications).''
