This is a memory aid for me listing various specific questions and issues i feel the OSMF needs to address and i plan to follow up on at convenient times.
Order is roughly chronological.

Revision of the Crimea decision of the DWG by the board (board)

- explanation regarding the discrepancies between board decision and community mapping standards
- more or less resolved 2019-02-07 by board statement: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2019-February/005972.html
- but raises additional issues - see below
- status and nature of the original decision (can an appeal to a DWG decision be decided on without a formal board decision according to the rules of order?)

Board statement on Crimea decision (board)
- conditions for exceptions from the disputed boundaries policy are unclear - minimizing strife has been stated as being the motivation here but is being rejected as general basis of making exceptions.
- raises the general question in how far the OSMF board is bound by OSMF policy in their decisions.
- lack of any time limit or conditions for the exception declared.
- conflicts of the exception with the OSMF mission, in particular:
- Core values: Ground Truth: OSM favours objective “Ground Truth” over all other sources
- Scope of the OSMF board: Does not decide what to map or how to map and Does not drive mapping in a particular direction
