<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Thanks Clifford, All,<div><br></div><div>1. If I'm reading this correctly, I understand that the LCCWG Moderation Subcommittee expects that whatever the new Etiquette Guidelines it drafts will be binding for OSMF-talk and talk mailing lists, and recommends against "unnecessary delays" such as might be introduced by, for example, an OSMF membership vote on adoption of the new guidelines. I'm wondering if this is not a little too much expediency? I for one would be a little reluctant to say I already agree with the new Etiquette, considering it has not been drafted yet.</div><div><br></div><div>2.
Unless I am mistaken, the original Board decision (<a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2020-December/007599.html" target="_blank">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2020-December/007599.html</a>) stipulated a "consent of the governed." However, the Subcommittee's Plan recommends "that the OSMF Board is the final point of approval of the new moderation process." I'm wondering if it was considered that the OSMF members - or indeed the broader OSM users and community - could be the final point of approval, which in my mind would give the new policies much greater legitimacy? </div><div><br></div><div>3. The current Etiquette (<a href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Etiquette" target="_blank">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Etiquette</a>) mentions not only the OSMF-talk and talk mailing lists, but "Mailing lists, web fora, and IRC channels." I think without stretching it too much, the hope would be that the Etiquette extends to other common OSM channels as well, for example, changeset discussions and Telegram groups (perhaps this could be a mention in the new Etiquette itself?). If the current Etiquette is replaced by a new Etiquette, the new Etiquette might also by implication extend to all these channels - however, this is not explicitly mentioned in the Scope of Work. Can you please comment on how this would work? </div><div><br></div><div>4. I'm curious about participating and I see the form you are linking below asks a few questions about the interested individuals. Do these questions act as selection criteria to ensure representation of various groups, or can anyone join the process through any of the groups? </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks again for the work to date,</div><div>Lukasz</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 26 Mar 2021 at 20:09, Clifford Snow <<a href="mailto:clifford@snowandsnow.us" target="_blank">clifford@snowandsnow.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Volunteers from across the OpenStreetMap community are coming together to redefine how we communicate in our spaces, and the LCCWG Moderation Subcommittee invites your participation in the process.
