<p dir="ltr">Simply starting a new thread here to discuss implementing a Code of Conduct in our community, as suggested by Clifford (and many others before him). </p>
<p dir="ltr">I haven't got time at the moment to share my full thoughts, but I wanted to create a separate place to discuss this specific proposal. I'll chime in as soon as I'm able.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All the best from Berlin, <br>

<div dir="ltr">Two recent events seem to have gone beyond reasonable discourse. The Dutch address imports and the addition of 5 US Bike Routes (USBR.) Unfortunately, these are not isolated instances. The mailing lists discussions have spiraled down to include personal attacks. I've chosen to use the subject DWG and Imports because these two subjects seem to end up with heated discussions. The OSM community can do better. I'd like to propose the following:<div>
<br></div><div>1. Adopt a Code of Conduct. The wiki has a draft proposal [1] for a Code of Conduct. Let's dust this off, approve it, and live by it. (HOT has a Code of Conduct [2] we could consult for revision of the draft.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. Last year the DWG proposed clarifying the Import Guidelines. [3] Let's organize a group of volunteers (because that's all we have) to review and revise the import guidelines. The makeup of the group should include people from different countries as well as a representative from the DWG. Until these guidelines are revised, let's use the existing guidelines.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. The DWG should regularly report back to the community with data indicating the type of problems they encounter. That data should be made available to the Import Guidelines committee that I'm proposing. As a community we should be making decision, when possible, with good data. I strongly encourage the DWG to update their OSMF Tasks to include data based decisions making. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd like to hear back from other that would like to see some positive change and would be willing to help.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Community_Code_of_Conduct_(Draft)" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Community_Code_of_Conduct_(Draft)</a></div>
