Well if it helps, my answer yesterday to this help question

https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/53812/contested-border-sahrawi-morocco-decision-to-display

explains the process that was followed to try and come up with some kind 
of consensus as to how to display that area in OSM.  However, what 
worked in that case may not be appropriate elsewhere because each case 
is different - in fact the most common response that I give to the DWG 
stuff that I deal with is just to try and get everyone to talk to each 
other more to try and understand other points of view, no other actions 
needed.

Best Regards,

Andy
