Yes. </blockquote>
<p>Thank you, we can end this discussion here and wait for comments
from iD authors, then. Based on previous replies in this thread,
it looked as if OSMF was misappropriating someone else's project
under a threat of removing iD from osm.org, which I would find
unacceptable.<br>

The OSMF Board does not intend to and will not "influence
decisions of the iD maintainer". The OSMF Board intends to create
a dispute resolution mechanism so that harassment of the iD
developers ends. The OSMF Board will not be part of the dispute
resolution mechanism, once it is created.<br>

<p>Are decisions of this new body binding or advisory to the iD
maintainer? If they are binding that is effectively a transfer of
project governance away from the current maintainer - I have no
problem with it as long as he is happy with it, or if OSMF decides
to fork iD and maintain it separately. Below you wrote that the
dispute resolution can be invoked by the "developers
(maintainers)" - can you be more specific? Can _any_ contributor
whose proposal has been rejected trigger this procedure?<br>
</p>
<p>The reason iD is appealing to beginner users is a combination of
its availability (an online tool) and a well thought out and
simple work flow. The latter shouldn't be taken for granted - a
few well meaning yet wrong changes can make the tool far less
usable than it is now. A hundred of them will kill it.<br>
