Dear community!
During the last LCCWG meeting in November, we decided to reject the application of Umbra OSM to become a Local Chapter.
Based on LCCWG’s review of the application, it was found out that:
There are formal deficiencies in the submitted documents, the LCCWG did not receive all the required documents.
- UmbraOSM’s application failed to gather unanimous support from the local community consultation in the Community Forum, and during the individual consultations with community representatives at the LCCWG meeting.
Suggested next steps:
- UmbraOSM to submit the required documents, including Financial Report
- UmbraOSM may want to reapply for the use of OSM trademark in their organizational name, directly to the Board and LWG
- OSM Brazil community to work together to try and come up with a resolution to the internal community conflicts, and can reapply again as a Local Chapter
For my part, I would like to add that such a vibrant community should have a Local Chapter representative and I will be happy to help in this process. I am available and happy to answer any questions.
