<p data-parsoid="{"dsr":[0,249,0,0]}">The LWG has prepared
a position paper on the matter that has been reviewed by data
protection experts and in general the approach to not rely on
explicit consent has been validated. It should be noted that while
the paper outlines our approach, some of the details still need to
be determined. In particular the future relationship with
community and third party data consumers that utilize OSM
meta-data and what will actually be dropped/made less accessible
of the data listed in Appendix B.</p>
