<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Importing locally - see proposal 2.1<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>

no local communities. As long as there is a local import manager, all available data should be imported (for urban and rural areas).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The Task Manager - see proposal 2.3 1-<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">- To make sure there in no wild import, an import task should be set-up only after
a local import manager has required it. Without a local import manager, the data should not be made available through the task manager (i.e. NO import).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">- Being able to adapt the size of the working squares in the task manager is great
news. We just have to identify what could be a reasonable volume of building to process, let’s say in an hour, to adjust the squares accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The Import Process - see proposal 2.3 4-<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">- It would be fun if we all got involved in importing data as a municipality becomes
available for import. We might all have local knowledge to share even if we do not live in a given municipality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">- The Conflation process is when you need to replace the geometry of an existing
OSM building with the one from ODB data because it would significantly be improved. Consequently, not all buildings need to be changed using ODB data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

corrections might seem like blame in some case. I suggest that anyone could identify themselves as local import manager for concerned municipalities, including those who made the first import if they wish.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">- Correction might be twofold: the correction of low quality building shapes and
the correction of low positional accuracy of OSM content when it is the case.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
