[Osmf-talk] Some questions about candidates' statements

[Nuno Caldeira]

I actually believe this should be extended to all Working groups. Let's
take my request to terminate Facebook rights as written on ODbL back in
June (five months ago and well documented with evidence and lack of
feedback from the offender. the board decided not to decide anything and
ask for further advice on LWG. AFAIK currently at LWG we have 3 out of the
5 members that work for companies (Telenav, Mapbox and Telenav) indirectly
there's CoI to the board.
