[ ] 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.

11/10/2021This Implementation Plan is based on the subcommittee Scope of Work that was presented to the community at the January OSMF meeting. It has been split into two distinct elements. We plan to progress the ‘Process for moderation’ and ‘Revision of the Etiquette Guideline’ work in parallel subject to enough volunteer support. Our goal is to complete all work by the end of July 2021. This estimate is based on time required to allow for thorough research, bi-monthly subcommittee meetings, community consultation and feedback, and OSMF board review. These efforts have been defined separately below. Community Involvement We want to balance visibility against the feeling of exhaustion from being copied in too many messages or asked too many questions. We therefore created four groups that will be consulted and involved in the process to a different degree than the others. Participation will be defined as part of the workflow set out below. Subcommittee: Join the subcommittee to attend bi-monthly meetings, develop draft documents, respond to comments and drive the process. Reviewer: Provide the Subcommittee with early, timely input on initial draft materials. We invite the Review Group to include the OSMF Working Groups, OSMF Local Chapters and other established communities, in addition to self-nominated individuals. Community: Individuals interested in being notified when final drafts are ready for community input. Everyone who wants to provide feedback will be considered part of this group, but if you want an email when a draft is ready please sign up and let us know.
