Hi Laura,

Thanks for your message, as well as your ongoing management of the Dadaab HOT Task! This is Lukasz, and I am helping Naomi with this import. I will let her reply to your points on data quality and accuracy and closed camps, and in the meantime address your other questions:

> OSM Tagging

I don't think we have any tags that should be changed - can you please confirm if you have any specific ones in mind?

> Import schedule

I updated the import's wiki page with more information, but generally - data prep should be done in the coming days/weeks, simultaneously as we are holding discussions with all concerned parties. Merging and conflict resolution are included in this, so we do not import anything that needs cleaning/fixing later on.

> Corrections and updates

This import is a one-off, though there may be future REACH activity involving primary data collection in Dadaab - Naomi would have a better idea than me. Though I have little influence on that, I hope we would then either repeat the import, or, even better, integrate OSM into the process itself so that we don't move entire dataset into OSM post data collection, but rather update OSM directly in the course of field operations.

> Deletion

We do not expect deleting data from OSM as a part of this import.

Please let me know if you have any other points?

Best regards,
Lukasz
