[Imports] Buildings & Address in Washington, DC, USA.

[David Jackson (OCTO)]

Frederick,

Thanks for your feedback.  It is an oversight.   The import process won't
begin until mid June. It would not be right to start the process without a
2 week feedback period from the time the notice was posted on the import
email list.  We are still gathering valuable feedback from the OSM
community.

David
