My comments were made as response to the implicit claim that the US <br>
community is not getting its fair share in OSMF governance because the <br>
Germans are out to get them, which, see above, is obviously hilariously <br>
untrue.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm a member of the US community, and I didn't read anything in Roland's statement (translated through DeepL) antagonizing us as a whole. The hostility was directed at several individuals and one company. I'd say this was rather unprofessional, but not something I'm going to concern myself with. What I did find concerning was the implication that Germany needs German representatives on the board to represent German interests over all others. I find this to be quite an unacceptable statement coming from an OSMF board member. Board members are elected at large and their duties are to the entire OSMF, not a specific geographic region or nation. <br><br>--<br></div><div>Zeke Farwell<br></div><div>Vermont, USA<br></div></div></div>
