Officially welcome Tom to LWG.

Reportage

Jim - Privacy policy update status

Action item (from previous meeting): Jim to contact Paul to confirm that the changes will be made on the website.

Trademarks - HOT, State of the Map

Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)

Kathleen continuing to liaise with outside counsel to produce a draft.

State of the Map

Mikel sent a note that Kathleen drafted for him, got a friendly and apologetic response, they hadn’t made the connection on the name. They will refrain from using the name in the future and hope that OSMF can join them at an event in the future.

Question from Martijn van Exel regarding "Right to be Forgotten"

Resolved by OWG - apparently this happens occasionally and OWG is able to replace names/emails in listserv with “Anonymous Person” or like.

Attribution Guidelines

  • Meeting with Board was productive
  • Dermot cleaned up the redlines based on the conversation - Thank you Dermot!
  • Only remaining comments appear to be minor wordsmithing & formatting - any further comments before we ask the Board to bless and circulate?

Discussion about moving a short section to the introduction.

Any other business

Kathleen going on leave June 12

Kathleen to be back at the December meeting.

Response to OTRS (support tracker) tickets

  • Template answers - Templates have been created in OTRS! They are all labeled with “LWG” to start (thanks to Tom Hughes and Paul Norman for the technical assistance)
  • Has everyone confirmed access?
  • Perhaps set up a rotation to review after this week?

Action item: Dorothea to add "Check OTRS tickets" to every meeting agenda till Kathleen comes back.

OSM tileset hosted by a 3rd party

Suggestions:

  • LWG to draft template email "invitation to licence"
  • Trimester report.
    • The volume might become overwhelming. LWG already has more work than it can handle.
    • Do a recruitment call.
      • Will get people with no prior experience.
    • Draft a template, have the Data Working Group test it and see if you get good results.

Points mentioned:

  • Whose responsibility is to check that reported cases are OSM data.
  • Belgian community has template letter.

Next Meeting

July 8th 2021 20:00 UTC on BigBlueButton video room.
