Hi Hiroshi<br>
<br>
At least I am aware that we will have to grandfather quite a lot of
situations, in the end the document just tries to handle the
"normal" case and everything else will have to be figured out on a
case by case base.<br>

Hi, Simon, Daniel and forks.<br>
<br>
Sorry for head reply because of Mobile mailer<br>
<br>
I'm also similar interest to IP issue. OSMF Japan already hold the
trademark, OpenStreetMap, to protect from abuse and to keep freely
available for free use.<br>
<br>
Taking such IP by foreigners is difficult work, but keeping is
relative easy.<br>
<br>
IMHO, OSMF can give a delegate right of taking IP to chapter with
written document.<br>
<br>
And OSMF need to help chapter to transfer IP.<br>
domains are easier example. Trademark is my concern.<br>
It is necessary helped by IP specialist to transfer it.<br>

<div>In general I think the agreement is good, because
it keeps everything quite simple and - speaking for
the Japanese local "chapter" - there shouldn't be
any issues.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just let me comment a few points:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>(4.5) OSM related domains for Japan and also
SotM Asia have been registered already by OSMF
Japan. I think it would be a headache to make a
request to register domains to OSMF. Also some
domains require a local postal address.<br>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

There are quite a few countries that have restrictions on
who/what can register a domain and obviously if something is
not possible, we are not going to change it. In such cases it
would be and is perfectly acceptable for the local chapter to
register the domain and that is essentially the situation with
nearly all existing domains used by the local chapters. The
important point is that in the (unlikely) case that the local
chapter ceases to be a chapter, the domains are either
transferred to the OSMF or deregistered to make them available
for a replacement chapter.<br>

<li>(7.1) and (8.1) This is easy for
English-speaking countries, but quite unpopular
and time-consuming task for others (like Japan),
I guess. I think some standardized form to fill
in a few statistics every year should be
sufficient. I think the statistics, like
memberships, activities, and if the the local
chapter could raise funds for example, is what
the OSMF would be interested in, right?</li>

These are the "the OSMF isn't doing it either" points :-). I
would agree that likely a (simple) standardized form would be
best anything else is likely simply not going to be done. The
18 months after the end of the financial year is naturally
very long, but again that is mainly due to the OSMF currently
presenting it's numbers 13 months after the end of its
financial year (due to the timing of the AGM to be on the same
date as SOTM).<br>
