<p>In some countries (Mali for example), HOT is by far the
institution with the most notoriety related to Openstreetmap - and
it is often the only one. There, Openstreetmap appears to be a
humanitarian mapping project under supervision and sponsorship of
HOT. The confusion is real and the least the OSMF could do to
start clearing it is to make sure that the domains are separate. <a

must not point to a HOT domain.</p>
