[Osmf-talk] Closed board meeting again

[Simon Poole]

I've pointed this out before, but anyway: the most effective way to
counteract any takeover attempts is to simply have more members (I would
say more members that are actively involved in contributing, but I know
some will disagree with that).

Making things more complicated will tend to make it easier to game the
system. Just think about the concept of only allowing a percentage of
the existing member base as new members per year, or systems similar to
HOT membership, which once subverted work against undoing it.

(which applies to some other areas of OSM too).
