Wow. If this is true, then the situation is worse than I thought. Is
the only option left for OSMF to withhold this kind of important
information from contributors? That's not the sort of community I want
to be a part of. :-(

Anyway, if I understand correctly, I don't think anyone cares about
the "negotiation details", but rather we want to see the final, formal
document authorised by the necessary parties. Regardless of how scared
OSMF is of detractors, I think such a document is still a valid
request of contributors/supporters (like me).
