I would very much appreciate a clear and documented statment from the 
CWG and/or the board. I remember "my disapintment" before SOTM-EU at 
Vienna that the inclusion into the front page was refused and some times 
later SOTM-US was added.

I don't comply with this: I clearly don't want to be spammed by Emails. 
And eg. I read the "Wochennotiz" => I don't rely that much on the other 
emails that much.
Furthermore: a banner also addresses persons up to now not part of the 
community (= w/o an OSM account!).

So IMHO the banner is fine if there are clear and defined rules 
everybody is taking care about. And these rules may not change every few 
days.


Best regards,
Michael.
