''Background:''<br>
''In December 2020 the [[Licensing_Working_Group| Licensing Working Group]] (LWG) received an inquiry regarding [http://geosm.org/ GeOsm] and its trademark status. This was a [[Licensing_Working_Group/Minutes/2021-01-14#Kathleen_-_GeoOSM_status| topic]] of the January LWG meeting and Kathleen Lu (LWG) reached to Willy Franck Sob, the main operator of GeOsm. He explained that GeOsm is an expansion of [http://geocameroun.cm/EN/ GeoCameroun], and is now used by 21 African countries. It is a data portal to make open maps for the countries more easily accessible. His hope is that GeOsm will eventually be used by countries all over the world. The LWG suggested that OSMF should come with an agreement with GeOsm. An action item of the [[Board/Minutes/2021-02-12#GeOsm| February mid-month] board meeting]] was for Jean-Marc (Board) to communicate with Kathleen Lu (LWG) on drafting something for the board to approve.''

''The [[FOSS_Policy_Special_Committee| FOSS Policy Special Committee]], after a request by a [[Working_Groups|working group]] and individual board members, had asked [https://cloud68.co/ cloud68.co] to set up a [https://osmfiles.cloud68.co Nextcloud with OnlyOffice instance for OSMF] until the third week of March for testing purposes. According to the committee, this tool might be useful to replace some services hosted outside of the control of the OSMF:''
* ''Google Calendar/Drive/Docs/Forms/Sheets''
* ''Etherpad/Ethercalc/HackMD''
* ''Nextclouds hosted elsewhere''
''The FOSS Policy Special Committee had reached out to the [[Working_Groups|working groups,]] the [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2021-March/007767.html OSMF membership] and the [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Board_Member_Bios&oldid=7907 board] and invited them to test the Cloud68-hosted Nextcloud instance with [https://www.onlyoffice.com/ OnlyOffice] and provide feedback by March 20. The committee will compile the feedback and present it to the board so that they can take further action to proceed or not with the contracting of this instance.''
''For more background information and reasoning for using [https://nextcloud.com/ Nextcloud], please have a look at the recommendations in the [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/b/b5/FOSS_policy_special_committee_-_Report_on_FOSS_use_in_OSMF_2021-01.pdf report] that the FOSS Policy Special Committee recently published.''

''The [https://operations.osmfoundation.org Operations Working Group] proposed to the board a 2021 budget with a low, medium, and high options. It starts at 2021Q2 and runs for one year. The OSMF Board has talked about this at the March mid-month chat, and is going to vote during this meeting.''

== Articles of Association: Count time as associate member for board candidacy requirements ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-

''The board discovered an [[Articles_of_Association|Articles of Association]] (AoA) oversight during the preparations for last year's elections: People who have been part of the OSMF for a long time, but spent much of that time as [[Membership#Associate_Members|associate members]], may be prevented from running for the board because they do not formally meet the requirement of having been a member for 180 days. This is because "associate members" are, counter-intuitively, not treated as a subset of "[[Membership#Normal_Members|members]]" in the Articles of Association. The board is considering to propose to the membership a change to paragraph 79 of the Articles of Association.''
