<p>Hi i was one of the candidates for the board that signed the
letter expressing my concern about this "massive signup".</p>
<p>One question, <b>not a single</b> one of these, recently called
<b>100 "humans" expressed concern, doubts or showed any sign of
not being able to vote</b>? 100, not 10, 100 that did not
express themselves about not being able to vote. Lets me think
that people in India are very shy indeed. Lucky we got 900 members
and those "100 humans" were just 1/10 of the members. We must be
doing a great job at promotion to get new members with that rush
sign up.<br>
</p>
<p>To me its quite clear what happened and measurements must be
taken so it wont happen ever again. To be honest it might already
be happening with "silent"/"dormant" members on OSMF for future
decisions.</p>
<p>Independence, impartially and autonomy ,must be one of the core
values of OSMF. Or we might end up being a dept of role players
that use OSM open data without attribution for their own intends.<br>

Didn't MWG do that already? See pages 15–17 for the outreach to the .IN
and .FR group.
MWG wrote on page 20 of their report:
</pre>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">We understand from various sources that the company privately raised
the issue of being allowed to vote with the board several times. The
issue was also raised privately by GlobalLogic employees in
conversations with MWG. Anecdotally, this has barely, if at all, come
up in casual personal conversations with friends who were also cut
off.

This reads as if at least one GlobalLogic employee had contact with MWG
beyond the reach out described on pp. 15–17.
Best regards
