This statement has as much basis in fact as my belief that neither the OSMF 
nor its LWG have decided on anything except "changing the licence".

I have asked for 
(a) the terms of reference of the LWG (not recently, late last year)
and 
(b) some idea of what are the parameters which would give this change the "go-
ahead"

When these questions cannot be answered, especially (b) then I assume that no 
one knows.

Next question
Is the LWG or the OSMF Board going to make the decision on how many 
contributors/ how much data is needed to agree to change over to change to 
ODbL?
(Is this question part of the LWG terms of reference, or not?)
