[ ] LCCWG Moderation Subcommittee Scope of Work Proposal
This proposal was developed by OpenStreetMap volunteers who came together to define the work to be completed by the Moderation Subcommittee, a sub-group of the Local Chapters and Communities Working Group (LCCWG). Learn more about other focus items of the LCCWG here.
The OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) Board set out to "find partners to help instate a moderator team for the OSMF-talk and talk mailing lists". In their December 2020 meeting, the OSMF Board requested that the LCCWG take the lead on this initiative and subsequently this group has been formed.
This group of volunteers is not the moderation team that the Board has asked for, instead we have committed to help set it up. We wholeheartedly agree with the Board that when established "these moderators need to have the trust of the community". As such we kindly ask for feedback on today's proposals as this is how we will ensure we are on the right path.
The kind support of a few initial volunteers has enabled us to have a proposal ready for review, but we will continue to need support and hope to include representation from all parts of the OSM community. Please reach out if you are interested in being involved with this work.
