Firstly
As it is the Russians who are 'driving' this ... I think they should be 
consulted (on the Russian talk group).
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ru

I am subscribing .. and will be raising an issue I have with government 
vs administration subject office=government vs. office=administration.
I raise the issue there as that is I think where it originates, so 
directly engaging rather than through another group is better IMO.
Looks like the list subscription is not automatic .. so I will wait for 
manual approval.


Secondly.
Create a proposal for the key 'government' ... and let people comment on 
it.
