Dear all HOT Us Inc members, subscribers of the hot at openstreetmap
mailing-list and OSMF members,

There's is something weird in Dale Kunce (HOT US Inc President and OSMF
member) in this email announcing that the HOT US Inc Code of Conduct
https://www.hotosm.org/hot_code_of_conduct will be enforced on the hot at
openstreetmap mailing-list (an OpenStreetMap mailing list to discuss uses
of OSM in the humanitarian and development sectors [1]) which like other
OpenStreetMap thematic mailing lists [2] (software development, tagging etc
...) and other discussions fora (wiki, forum etc) belong to the commons of
the OpenStreetMap project and is regulated via the OSMF and the OSM members
and is yet not subject to agreed upon and enforced CoC as reminded by the
last OSMF election discussions [3].

It would be beneficial for the regulations of the OpenStreetMap commons,
that the President of HOT US Inc refrain from enforcing his own
organization's conversational policy and procedures (which has never been
voted by the HOT US Inc membership) over an OSM mailing list and narrow his
focus and actions on the resources of his own organizations (membership
mailing list, tools etc) or the conversations of the HOT US Inc membership.
It would also be beneficial to assess and look at the moderation of the hot
at openstreetmap mailing-list from a non HOT US Inc only perspective, shall
we want this list to be the mailing list of anyone OpenStreeMap members
(and not yet members) interested into the use of OpenStreetMap diversified
and decentralized and not the list of only-one organization of the
OpenStreetMap ecosystem active across the humanitarian and development
sectors.

Best,
Nicolas
