do we issue a statement. Or do we not support the Call to Action? I realize this is short notice but that is out of our control :-(<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I hope you are all well<br>
<br>
We, several groups, chapters, organizations and individuals, have reacted to the conversation in the osm-talk-list (<a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2020-December/085692.html">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2020-December/085692.html</a>)
considering that it is an incident symptomatic of the problem we have faced for many years in the community, which is one of the greatest obstacles to diversity at all levels of OSM. Time to make a real change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">That is why we have developed a beginning of statement on the desirable mechanisms to work solidly on the rules of coexistence and improve diversity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><br>
We bring it to your attention and invite anyone who feels represented to sign it. Translations are in preparation (any help is welcome): <o:p></o:p></span></p>
