<br>
I read the response, and I would like just to make a technical
remark. <br>
<br>
The metal Platinum was not known in antiquity. It was discovered
in the 18th century by Antonio de Ulloa. Since 2015 Platinum is
significantly cheaper than Gold, - just type in Google: "price of
gold and platinum" (1214 USD vs. 979 USD). It was a historical
shift.<br>
<br>
The are several fundamental reasons for that, - Platinum is not
required for diesel engine catalytic converters in such quantities
as before, as a technology changed, and Platinum is not too
popular on the current major jewellery markets of China and India,
and some other. <br>
<br>
Our civilization is built from metals, and people in many
industries actually know the value of metals. In my opinion, the
best way to avoid legal claims is not to offer contracts which
conditions may be construed as misleading. <br>
<br>
Is this outdated metaphor the only one possible? Could it be say
Ferdinand Magellan, Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, James
Cook levels? Or Hamlet, Village, Town, City, Metropolis levels? Or
Startup, Business, Growth, Enterprise? English is one of the most
vocabulary rich languages out there.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Oleksiy<br>

<div>Recently the OSMF Board posted a proposal on corporate
memberships and opened up consultation on it. Many of you have
responded on this list (and I imagine off-list too).<br>
<br>
The State of the Map Working Group (SotM WG), which is a a
group of volunteers organising OSMF's international
conference(it's going to be fab), have also responded to the
board's consultation.<br>
<br>
For those of you that would like to read our response, it is
available online here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
