La meilleure chose est de répondre que cet import a été discuté par la communauté osm du Canada à l'époque, cela avant l'implantation des règles d'import.
 De mémoire, les règles  d'import avec le besoin de communiquer avec la liste import ont été implantées après 2010.
La première édition de la page wiki https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines est en 2013.

 I'd tend to suggest entropy as a defense.  In other words this data has been in the map for a considerable length of time.  Details have been added to the buildings and buildings have not been added from the Stats Canada building whatever since buildings were already mapped.

In 2017 we imported buildings in Ottawa.  A group of local mappers basically met over coffee and made the decision to do the import.  I suspect we did not record who was at the meeting.

We did follow the import mailing list and it eventually needed the LWG to confirm the data was acceptable, but many earlier imports in Canada were done without involving the import mailing list.  

Highway names in Ottawa for example in 2010.  It was a local decision made by local mappers at the time and I really can't remember who was round the coffee table.

Hi all
So some editor in Poland dug up this import I did back in 2010 of Manitoba Lands Initiative building data and is demanding proof that we followed proper procedures. 

I explained the MLI license, and that it was discussed on this mailing list, but they seem to be adamant I provide receipts that we followed the correct procedure, including approval from the Imports mailing list. The challenge is that a user who is no longer active initiated the import, and I was under the impression he had gotten the correct approval. Does anyone remember this?

I know why procedure exists, but it's frustrating to see this sort of legalism for an edit older than I a decade. I was an idealistic teenager when I made this import. Eleven years later I deal with bureaucracy all day at work, and just want to make usable maps. Again, not suggesting we throw out the rule book, but surely there's a reasonable approach.
Anyway, my feelings aside, does anyone remember this?
Sam
