[[osm:Software_dispute_resolution_panel\|Software Dispute Resolution Panel]] for iD editor \|- \| '''Mandate, terms of office, composition, conflicts of interest, transparency, evaluation''' The OSMF Board [[Board/Minutes/2020-08#Dispute_resolution_panel_proposal\|decided in August 2020]] to create a [[osm:Software_dispute_resolution_panel\|Software Dispute Resolution Panel]] to deal with disputes over changes to the [[osm:iD]] editor. The full proposal can be found [https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2020/08/04/proposal-for-software-dispute-resolution-panel/ here]. The community consultation thread is [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2020-August/085258.html here], and a digest of that consultation can be found [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/8/8a/20200720_digest_responses_iD_proposal.odt here]. Working Groups were asked to submit nominations and the Board appointed the following five persons (from a total of 7 nominations) to the first Panel in January 2021: * Richard Fairhurst * Ilya Zverev '''Mandate'''<br> ''The panel has the following mandate:''<br> Initially, the Panel will deal solely with disputes over changes to the iD editor. If subsequently developers of other OSM-related software wish to use the Panel, they may request inclusion in the Panel’s remit. Opting into cooperation with the Panel is voluntary and will not, for example, factor into OSMF decisions related to funding.
