=== OSMF incorporating in another country ===
The Secretary contacted the [[Advisory_Board| Advisory Board members]], asking
* if OSMF could move to the countries of Advisory Board members (Replies received from Slovakia and Germany).
* (Corporate Members) if there is anything that would make it easier for corporate members on the Advisory Board, to donate money to the OSMF and what is the best form of legal structure (for the OSMF) that it would make it the easiest for them to donate money to OSMF.
=== Attribution guidelines - request to share opinion from outside legal counsel===
''(Post-meeting addition, not mentioned during the meeting)''
The board and the Advisory Board received an email on June 21st from Marc Prioleau ''(Facebook representative on the Advisory Board)'', regarding the opinion that the board received from an outside legal counsel with expertise on Intellectual Property (Kyle Mitchell) on the current attribution guidelines. The board was asked if that information can be made publicly available.
The answer was that the board does not intend to share it more widely, and that the board has asked the [[Licensing_Working_Group| Licensing Working Group]] (LWG) not to share the letter's contents.
== Monthly presentation: OpenStreetMap Philippines by Feye Andal ==
| ''Presentation by [https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/feyeandal/diary Feye Andal], arranged by Eugene Alvin Villar (board).''
|}
Question by Allan Mustard on how soon is the OSM PH going to apply for Local Chapter status?
''Feye deferred the answer to Eugene.''
* It takes a lot of time, money and effort to register and maintain the registration of an organisation with the government.
* Registration takes a few weeks to a month.
* The lack of a formal organisation is not a hindrance to the activities and projects of the OSM Philippines community.
<u>Comments by other board members</u>:
* Similar problems regarding registration with local community in India.
* Issue worth to be revisited.
* If it is a question of money, OSMF can help.
