We cannot target bulk emails by country but we have had some success via 
browser language preferences.  My guess, which I will confirm tonight 
with Richard, is that anyone with English as only preference will have 
already received a second mailing, late Nov/Dec as I recall, and anyone 
with Tagolog no.  If anyone is so missed, I will request an immediate 
mailing in English.  We think two mails is enough, those that have got 
them have read them and those that haven't is because of spam filters 
and old email addresses.

Not entirely. I've not managed to stimulate discussion on this one, but 
I feel the best thing to do would be to remove the integration into the 
main OSM database, (the blue lines you can bring up in Potlatch), to 
prevent tracing. The original trace files, (what you see under the 
website "GPS Traces") can be left as-is under a CC-BY-SA license. My 
personal preference, and I stress personal, is to use them in the future 
to carefully experiment with multiple-licensing, i.e. when you upload a 
trace, you can choose one or more license for it. PD and non-commercial 
could be included.  If it is compatible with the main license, other 
folks can see it for tracing, otherwise not.
