<div class="moz-cite-prefix">RFC - Kosovo LC application<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Many thanks to FLOSSK for their
application. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">1 : Compliance: Not sure the
incorporation as an NGO is sufficient for this purpose, but this
should be checked.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">2 : Important!: Article 3: Purpose of
the articles of incorporation omits OSM. I would require at
minimum that the applicant should include openstreetmap as at
least a bullet item. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">3 : Membership: The membership is
explicitly unrestricted. Good.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">4 : Advice only: The articles of
incorporation have a few problems. But I don't think that is a
criterion we are very concerned about so I'm not going to spell
them all out.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">5: OSM Activity and Membership<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><span> - Arianit Dobroshi, President,
is an active contributor, "Arianit" of long standing.<br>
</span></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><span><span> - Besfort Guri, Board
Member, is an active contributor, "BesfortGuri" of long
standing.<br>
</span></span></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><span> - Dian Fishekqi, Board Member,
doesn't have an obvious osm login.<br>
</span></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
<span>Pascal Neis list 147 people who have contributed to the map
in Kosovo in the last 2 months. See here: <a
href="https://osmstats.neis-one.org/?item=countries&country=Republic%20of%20Kosovo">https://osmstats.neis-one.org/?item=countries&country=Republic%20of%20Kosovo</a>
Not all are from Kosovo, but most do seem to be residents. At
least some of these active mappers should be supporting this
application. <br>
</span></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><span><br>
</span></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Conclusion:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The application does not clearly
identify how accrediting FLOSSK as an OSM Local Chapter will
support the goals of openstreetmap. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I would not process this application
further at this time.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I would refer it back to the applicant
with guidance; asking for them to re-submit after making
significant improvement to the details about their activities that
support OSM. <br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We would like to invite comments to Local Chapter
applications a little sooner in the process. Usually the
Secretary does a full review and consults with the Board
BEFORE consulting with the local community and the OSMF
membership.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From now on, we plan to actively let the OSMF membership
know about new applications as they come in; at least once we
have received all of the necessary documentation. So I'd like
to invite you to have a look at:<br>

</div>

<div>If you have questions or remarks about this application,
please put them on the Discussion/Talk tab for this page; or
you can send them to <a

<div><br>

<div>Hopefully, this can make the process more transparent,
fluent and, who know, more speedy.</div>

<div>Best,</div>
