[OSM-talk] OSMF

[Nick Black]

Hello,

Some of the recent threads, particularly on the Dev list have re-emphasised
one of the existing problems with OSM.  All the responsibility and authority
is still in Steve's hands, and this is the bottleneck that we are at so far
as getting things done quickly.  As Tom pointed out on the Dev list, this
situation is unlikely to change over the next few weeks as Steve is going to
be away a lot.  Forming the Foundation will allow us to get far more done
and spread the burden more equally between us.

To fill in the gaps from the Foundation Wiki page:

* How about a voting period of 5 days, with voting closing at 11.59 on
Friday 16th June?

* For an address for preliminery membership, we will probably want a PO
Box.  We need to have an intermediate address though, does anyone have a PO
Box or other address they could volunteer?

* Are there any voting precedures in place at the moment?

I'll ammend the Wiki as to the number of voting days when we get some kind
of a consensus on the mailing list.

Cheers,

Nick
