Thanks for writing this. I lost interest in the OSMF about 4 years ago, stayed on as member, but stopped paying membership fee this year. I still love OSM as a platform, but am just tired of putting effort in the foundation or the community. Although it saddens me, it is comforting to know others are worried about the course the foundation is taking.

I think you are doing a great job. You put in great effort and have thought it through in detail. I do not know how much my voice is valued in the Kingdom of mappers, but you have my blessing. If I come across public transport that I want to map, I will use your tools and documentation.

Respect.

In response to what DaCor says;

Would it be a possibility to set up ways to sponsor/donate membership for people outside the western world? Of course not to control them, but to give them the ability to be heard, without any restrictions or influence?

Gefeliciteerd!
