| ''Suggestion to have a very short board meeting with the [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Board_Member_Bios&oldid=5992 old] and new board after the [[Annual_General_Meetings/2019| 2019 AGM]] (December 14, 2019). That meeting could include voting on having a face-to-face (F2F) board meeting early next year.''

| ''Lead: Joost''

''Mikel joined ~ 22'24''''
<u>Proposal</u> </br>
"The current board suggests to the next board to plan a face-to-face meeting as soon as possible after the election. It is, of course, up to the next board to decide whether or not they will take on that invitation. The current board will work to make it possible to organise a F2F meeting sooner rather than later, without setting anything to stone".
<u>Suggestions</u>
# Collect agenda information from board members that will stay on.
# Suggest to new board a F2F meeting early next year.
# Let candidates know that we decided that it would be good to have a short board meeting after AGM and maybe have a vote to see if new board agrees on going ahead with planning.
# Ask Allen Gunn ''(of Aspiration Tech and facilitator of the F2F meeting in 2019)'' if he is available and willing to help.
<u>Points mentioned during discussion</u>
* Remaining board members to not try to dominate new members.
* Location/continent can't be suggested yet, as make up of new board still unknown.

'''Action item:''' Joost to send email that Frederik has drafted.
''Decisions of the iD development team have attracted [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID/Controversial_Decisions controversy], resulting in public discussions on various community platforms and concerns being brought to the board's attention via the [https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2019/09/17/pre-sotm2019-survey-initial-numbers-and-reflections-from-board-members/ pre-F2F 2019 survey]. Some of the controversial tagging decisions have since been reverted. Overall, quite a few contributors are upset that iD promotes tagging styles which aren't in line with existing documentation and usage numbers. The community concerns were a subject of discussion during the [https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2019/05/28/osmf-board-face-to-face-meeting-2019/ 2019 board face-to-face meeting], where the decision was made to contact the iD developers, in order to find a solution to reassure mappers that their perspective is valued when it comes to tagging questions.
