international mailing list without inviting any of the interested mappers or

I do not understand how is estimated a median point between unclassified and tertiary values. Chilean community has shown opposition to upgrade from unclassified to tertiary the access to Villa Las Estrellas/Frei base. The Argentine community has not spoken
in this mailing list, but those I have consulted there is opposition to using tertiary in Argentine bases Marambio and Esperanza/Fortín Sargento Cabral. Although Antarctica is an international space I guess should take account the opinion of local communities
where respective countries operate. </div>

<div>A possible revised assignment taking the medians of different opinions<br>
case by case:<br>
<br>
South Pole Traverse: secondary (or maybe primary)<br>
The other 4 traverses: tertiary<br>
Ground routes between major stations, airports and harbours: tertiary<br>
Main ways within stations: unclassified<br>
<br>
At McMurdo, Main Street, The Gap, Williams Field Road and Phoenix Road<br>
would become tertiary, and all other current tertiaries would be<br>
demoted to unclassified.<br>
<br>
Are there any objections to this change? This will affect 130 ways.<br>
<br>
I forgot to mention that the Route du Raid was highway=secondary from<br>
2018 to 2023 [1] and that the South Pole Traverse was<br>
highway=unclassified from 2012 to 2020 and highway=primary since then,<br>
with three different mappers trying to change it to highway=trunk. [2]<br>
For two years, Route du Raid was mapped as more important than the<br>
South Pole Traverse.<br>
