2.2. Provide a tool for communities to welcome new mappers (GL#8)
- Blog post released
- Several posts in the weekly
- 30-something regions already!

- LCCWG should keep watching what happens

2.4. Update the OSM website to highlight Local Chapters (GL#14)
- waiting for feedback from maintainers
2.5. Moderation subcommittee updates
- Etiquette guidelines approved by Board
- Board is scrutinizing the candidates for the Moderation team
- LCCWG would prefer giving people a shot and for the Board only to intervene when there are issues
- Board should be at arms length of moderation. Similar to DWG.
- Effort for OSM is not always visible, they may have other involvement. There is a plus to outsider perspective
- LCCWG in favor of contacting the Board on this
2.6. Best practices around doing paid work for local chapters
- No updates
- LCCC had a session on the topic, see notes of that
