I think it needs to be more open in terms of 'contribution' - if we have <br>
someone who is very keen to see OSM continue to succeed, but their area <br>
of interest is the legal side of things, on which they give advice or <br>
guidance, then that is acceptable to me. But does it need to be wider <br>
than that, and if so, what sort of contribution is acceptable and over <br>
what period of time?<br>
<br>
