Hi Rob,

Thanks for your email. Yes, we're looking into setting up OSMIE, but
I'm not sure how far along that is at this stage.

That's basically the decision we came to here on talk-ie. You can see
some of the discussion here (
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ie/2014-November/000772.html
). It makes a lot of sense for some of the things we're doing that
might require talking to outside bodies, such as requesting old maps
for mapping townlands.

Likewise, I think we're of the view that you can have overlapping
"areas" and people can join which ones they want.

Definitely! Best of luck!
