<p>@Andrew Hain,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>One factual correction:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The so-called "divisive North American attitudes" have been
endorsed in the online document by the following organizations:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Geochicas<br>
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Community Working Group<br>
GeoLadies Philippines<br>
MapBeks<br>
UP Resilience Institute Youth Mappers<br>
Crowd2Map <br>
SharedStreets<br>
Ushahidi<br>
Open Knowledge Nepal<br>
OSGeo Oceania<br>
Ministry of Mapping<br>
Unique Mappers Network, Nigeria<br>
Bangladesh Open Innovation Lab (BOIL) & Team BHOOT<br>
Kaart<br>
Mental Health A-WHERE-ness PH, Inc.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>The Philippines, Oceania, Nepal, Nigeria, and Bangladesh are not
in North America. Geochicas are found not only in North America,
but in South America, Europe, and Africa. Ushahidi is based in
Africa, as is Crowd2Map. In short, what you term "divisive North
American attitudes" appear to have support from individuals and
organizations outside North America. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In weighing potential paths forward, the Board will consider
factual information. It is thus incumbent on all correspondents
using this list to adhere to facts when expressing their views.<br>

The big problem I have with this manifesto is that it brings
divisive North American attitudes to a worldwide project. As a
worldwide project, building a community of mappers from the
whole world is our most important single diversity objective.
That doesn�t mean we shouldn�t encourage other
underrepresented groups such as women, but we should step away
from this kind of international combativeness and dog
whistling. It may even be counterproductive: some feminists in
my country think �diversity� has become a code word for
misogyny.</p>

<div>Hello everybody<br>
I hope you are all well<br>
<br>
We, several groups, chapters, organizations and individuals,
have reacted to the conversation in the osm-talk-list (<a
href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2020-December/085692.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2020-December/085692.html</a>)
considering that it is an incident symptomatic of the
problem we have faced for many years in the community, which
is one of the greatest obstacles to diversity at all levels
of OSM. Time to make a real change.</div>
That is why we have developed a beginning of statement on the
desirable mechanisms to work solidly on the rules of
coexistence and improve diversity.
