Agenda and Minutes
LicenceA new version of the Contributor Terms has been made available. The newversion now allows the Foundation to remove data which has been, willingly,
or by mistake, uploaded and found not compatible with the Licence.
The Board unanimously agrees that it is time to move forward after several
years of work on the new license.
The board request the LWG: to use the code behind this tool
<http://repo.grimp.eu/osm/europe_italy_status>, break-up data by type(e.g. road, landuse, et cetera), extend the coverage of it to be worldwide,and produce a thematic map of that data (e.g. Italy is green, France is red)accordingly for each object type, and for all objects.
The board discussed the issue of data loss and expects, considering what
has been seen, it will not be a showstopper at the time of the final switch.

The OSMF board mandates the LWG to enforce mandatory acceptance ofthe CT and ODBL in order to edit the database by March 31st.

Spending Policy
The board resolved for the strategic WG to come up with a draft budget
based on the needs of other WGs and the community. Deadline for this isfebruary 28th.
The communications WG is asked to announce at the same time theaforementioned resolution about the draft budget, plus MapQuest'sdonation.
The draft spending policy is as follows:● Expenditures larger than 1000€ will be discussed by the board on acase-by-case basis.
● Expenditures smaller than 1000€ require only the signature of thetreasurer and any other member of the board (given by email).
The treasurer will ask for a quote for outsourcing the book-keeping job.
OSMF wants to financially support projects which are aligned towards
improving the data on OSM's DB, widen the reach of the Database. The
Strategic WG is encouraged to come up with a plan to build a project
incubator.
The board resolves to accept Oliver's proposal to obtain liability insurance.
The treasurer will look into options for switching banks. The board feels thatthe current bank provides insufficient services, and there is a need for
redundant access to other board members.

Horizontal Scaling
Technically, there is a need for horizontally scaling the DB: there will come apoint in the future, where acquiring more hardware won't scale anymore.
The board asks the Technical WG to build suggestions of fundable items,
such as bounties, to build a scalable API.

Paid Staff
Besides bookkeeping, there are no jobs that need external help at themoment. In six months time, the board will reconsider hiring a secretaryand/or a full-time sysadmin.

Local Chapters
Local chapters should be financially independent: able to raise and spend
their own money. Local chapters shall be not-for-profit entities, and havenon-discriminatory membership. The board would prefer not having
chapters which geographically overlap.
The chapters WG will meet next week during the 16th. The WG shall obtaina report of the status of different existent local organisations; come with ageneral set of obligations and rights for chapters, and preview how to deal
with termination and overlaps.

GPS to go
The board agrees that the funds remaining from the OSI grant be reapplied
to the GPStogo program after a plan for restarting the program is drafted.
