| In December 2020, the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) Board [https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2020/12/11/message-from-osmf-board-chair-on-mailing-list-behavior/ set out] to “find partners to help instate a moderator team for the [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk OSMF-talk]¹ and [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk talk]² mailing lists" and in their [[Board/Minutes/2020-12#How_does_the_board_plan_to_respond_to_the_recent_call_for_action_statement_and_its_recommendations.3F|December 2020 meeting]] requested that the [[Local_Chapters_and_Communities_Working_Group|Local Chapters and Communities Working Group]] (LCCWG) take the lead on this initiative. Subsequently, this group has been formed as a subcommittee of the LCCWG. The [[Local_Chapters_and_Communities_Working_Group/Moderation_Subcommittee|Moderation subcommittee]] is a temporary group of OSM community members working on [[Local_Chapters_and_Communities_Working_Group/Moderation_Subcommittee/Scope_of_work| this Scope of Work]] via [https://hackmd.io/oqst2Pt1RlyLITj5lmMLcg this Implementation Plan] (hack.md). Learn more about participants and find links to any draft documents [[Local Chapters and Communities Working Group/Moderation Subcommittee|on the subcommittee's page]]. The moderation subcommittee will not be doing the moderation themselves.

 

 

Work of the LCCWG moderation subcommittee, formed for this task, so far:

* Suggested update of the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Etiquette/Etiquette_Guidelines etiquette guidelines].

In August 2020 the [[Membership_Working_Group|Membership Working Group]] launched the [[Membership/Active_contributor_membership| active contributor membership program]]: an easier and costless way for active OpenStreetMap contributors to apply to become an Associate member of the Foundation with no need to pay the membership fee. One needs <u>either at least 42 mapping days in the last 365 days or other contributions</u>) to have a voice in the OpenStreetMap Foundation, which is supporting the project, and be able to vote for the board members of your choice.

 

Joost Schouppe (past MWG member) looked in December 2020 at the [https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/diary/395012 initial impact of the active contributor membership program] and analysed which countries are over- and under-represented in the membership of the OpenStreetMap Foundation.
