[OSGeo Oceania] [EXT] Re: OSGEO Oceania SIG Charters (OSM and QGIS)

Thanks for putting this together Ed.

In my opinion the SIG should not claim or strive to be some kind of
overarching body for OSM in Oceania, rather it should sit alongside all
other OSM parties including individual contributors and the wider
community. Participation in the SIG should be optional for the OSM
community and the SIG should not be an arbitrator for the community.

So while the SIG can set it's own strategic directions and undertake
activities to deliver on those goals, it shouldn't dictate that others in
the community need to follow this.

Even if the SIG wanted to go further, it simply doesn't have any authority
to, so I think this needs to be very clear in the scope.

I'll make a few more comments on the doc.
