So my suggestion would be to have very light local chapter approach:<br>
- If someone wants to call their group as OSM local chapter, let them do it without much hard rules. Rules to follow would be same as normal contributors (do not copy data etc), act in good faith etc. No much formal obligations, fees etc.<br>
- If some local chapter spoils something really hard, then OSMF can expell them.<br>
- if there are competing chapters which want same thing (like local domain name), then discuss them case by case.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1 </div><div><br></div><div>I agree totally with Jaak ... keep it simple. Once it involves financials it gets comlicated. A lot of questions I mentioned before came up during IRC chats, but they came more from OSMF than form local chapters.</div>
<div>So personally I think the local chapter issue is an easy one to solve, but the OSMF has to make the final decision, not the local chapters. And probably it never became part of the agenda of a board meeting.</div><div>
