<p class="MsoNormal">I suggest the next step, after enough time for people to contribute, would be to open the four lists to voting by OSMF members. That way, they can be prioritized to the top “n” things that the board can focus on and deliver.</p>

<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_SWOT">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_SWOT</a> to collect the OSM community’s thoughts on OSM’s strengths and weaknesses, and opportunities and threats OSM faces. I respectfully ask that OSM community
members share their perspectives on that wiki page. </span></p>
