<div dir="ltr">I am really willing to help draft something that meets the DWG needs and also is manageable for the community. Can you provide more detail about the motivation behind the need for a policy? Is it to focus on the well intentioned but badly executed group mapping session like the ones you referenced or is to simply better understand corporate mappers that have come to OSM in the past few years.<br><div><br></div><div>As you said HOT, Missing Maps, and other larger groups already do 95% of what is in the draft guidelines, albeit with less use of the wiki than is being asked for. I think a better way to start writing the policy is to gather some of the actors such as HOT, Missing Maps, the OSM advisory board, representative community members, to assist the DWG. This ad-hoc working group would then be able to work more closely with the DWG in crafting some language that works for everyone. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 2:48 AM, Melanie Eckle <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:melanie.eckle@hotosm.org" target="_blank">melanie.eckle@hotosm.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Dear Frederik and all,</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Thank you for sharing the policy and the discussion.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"> </span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">We will discuss the policy in the HOT board including Dale´s concerns.

They may or may not, however currently (sans policy) they are not
doing anything that we clearly spell out as not allowed. Further not
all SEO companies are fly by night operations and those that are not
will not have an issue with following the rules.<span><br>

As Frederik has already pointed out your typical small scale mapping
party is unlikely to be effected, for anything larger, creating a
wiki page is not going to be a significant burden.<br>
