<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Discussions continue regarding how to best tag places sheltering refugees and/or internally displaced persons.</span>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Before jumping into the discussion regarding the pros and cons of the alternative solutions debated so far, I want to recap our objectives. </span>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong><u>Objectives :</u></strong></span>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - develop a general set of tags which satisfy all the tagging requirements of the many colors and flavors of refugee sites which exist in the world. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - develop tags which allow one to describe the features of the refugee site element, such as the "operator" (eg.UNHCR) , the type of population (refugee_only/internally_displaced), if the site is formal or informal, the refugee population, etc ..</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - develop tags which allow easy refugee site data extraction from the OpenStreetMap database using Overpass by anyone who wants to display refugee sites on a map. </span>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We welcome all constructive suggestions which help meet these goals. If anyone has any suggestions for improvements of the objectives, we welcome those too. </span>

<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In our second feature proposal we first tried to better defend the use of the key:place, but it seems that a majority of people are opposed to the use of it.</span>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We have recently received two suggestions which we have combined below in a manner which we believe could meet the stated objectives : </span>

<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Key refugee_site for large facilities </strong></span>

<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The tag refugee_site=yes will allows to easily add secondary optional information to be able to details the typology of the camps and other valuable information like:</span>

</div>
<div>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">For small facilities (less than 5 buildings) also sheltering refugee (for instance: refugee centers, accommodation center, care and hosting center), that are not exactly what we can call refugee site, use the existing tag:</span>
