[OSM-legal-talk] "Information for officials and diplomats of countries and entities with disputed territories"

[Mikel Maron]

Thanks for working on this, the document looks good to me. (I'm not a formal member of the Legal WG, but just a long time mapper interested in sorting out these disputes).

    However, as Chair I would really prefer a formal quorate, 4, for
    such things and ask you to indicate yes or no by email before I send
    it.

>The draft is of the last meeting + your changes + we went through
    and considered and clarified what each "OpenStreetMap" meant.  As an
    interesting aside, it defines "OpenStreetMap" without qualification
    to be the database itself rather than any human entity ... may be a
    useful legal construct in the future.

    treatment of disputed-island naming is an issue there as it ties the
    hands of the national mapping agency on how cooperative they can be
    with us. If I get any substantial feedback, I will forward to board.
