I think that position of sovereignty is appropriate.  The Toronto
OpenStreetMap Enthusiasts Meetup is similar.  We speak for ourselves only.
We consider ourselves to be a resource for those wishing to learn more
about OpenStreetMap.

We don't even have formal members, votes, budget or rules.  What we have in
"leadership" is a small group with the permissions to schedule events and
delete spam, and the obligation to pay the meetup.com fees.  :-)  It seems
to be working well-enough that we continue with it.

Among those who attend, we have a variety of levels of engagement in
OpenStreetMap. And a variety of engagement in OSMF.  Some are regular
mappers.  Some are newcomers.  Curious outsiders attend with questions.
