[Osmf-talk] OSMF 2025

[John Whelan]

Yes but not all mappers first language is English and the problem here 
is reputational as well.

I think Edward Bainton has summed up a way out of this mess quite well.

> In this time of election scrutiny and democratic change, the only path

> I suggest a competent and independent third party runs a re-election 
> process. There are many we could ask.
