<b>Ongoing - Licence compatibility information:</b> Licences that the LWG has evaluated so far for data sources utilized for adding objects to OpenStreetMap or improving existing data. Please read the introduction and realise that determining if the licence is compatible is only a small part of the work that has to be done before a source can be used for OSM, particularly when you intend to directly import third party data you will need to follow the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines Import Guidelines]. The LWG
<br><b>Ongoing - Update attribution guidance:</b> The guidance written in 2012 will be revised, as there are many technical changes (i.e. mobile phones’ screenspace is larger). Some guidance set by the LWG in meetings since then was not comprehensively added to the webpage.▼

<br><b>Ongoing - Guidance on small static map images:</b> Discussion on providing clear guidance about whether we require attribution in static snippets.
<br><b>Ongoing - Information requests from law enforcement:</b> We will get guidance regarding information requests from law enforcement in UK.
<br><b>Ongoing - DMCA and general takedown procedure:</b> The LWG has [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-BE8J0Bxi62RGn7MYeURuedrvlBUGsM1z3Ql3gIw-4o drafted a document], which proposes changes to the DMCA procedure and is under discussion
<br><b>Brexit:</b> The United Kingdom might exit the European Union without any kind of agreement in March. This would directly affect the way our [[Licence|licence]] works as we do assume that we have database rights in our data, and not having these recognised in the EU would be problematic. The LWG has suggested to the board a couple of potential ways around this, for example establishing a OSMF subsidiary in the EU to publish the data. We need to explore if such solutions could actually work, in particular work in the context of the Contributor Terms.
<br><b>Trademark issues:</b> "OSM" apps, OpenGeoHub, OpenStreetCab
<br><b>Tiles:</b> The stylesheet on tile.openstreetmap.org was [https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/commit/c2d4bdc09d64ba66f71f1a95eb2d0b3b4a77381a updated] to [https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v4190---2019-01-18 v4.19.0].
<br><b>Ongoing:</b> Ensuring the <b>operation</b> and smooth running of the XML editing API and data distribution services.
<br><b>Remote hands - Equinix, Amsterdam servers:</b> Remote hands were used for the first time in order to fix a network cable.
<br><b>WG volunteers:</b> We welcome Paul Norman, who has helped with the new data center move and has joined the Working Group.
