"Election process" in this case is the object of a preposition,
"from", and not the object of a verb. He appears to be saying the
OSMF Board is legitimate because it is elected via a process, and
this legitimacy includes the ability to "direct attention and
interest of the wider community of mappers and data users."<br>
