NT project check up
Jon to follow up with NT.
Robert Whittaker attended a meeting. They have finished the first phase of what they wanted to do and are now reviewing how it went.
They seemed quite happy but wanted to check some tagging details. Notably about paths across meadows that can move.
They were also starting to think about accessibility tagging. Their starting point is they should record information rather than guidance which is aligned with advocacy organisations.
AGM
Gareth has sent out the notice for the AGM.
We still need to do the CIC34 form. Gareth to produce first draft of this.
QP3 – Public Transit
CJ created the wiki page but limited edits so far. Lots of discussion on mailing list.
CJ has been linking unlinked bus stops with their naptan

PTv2 is complicated still
Coverage for bus stations is 100% but quality is undetermined.
There’s a bit of focus required for this project as it’s not clear where to improve.
Shall we arrange a talk about this after the AGM?

AOB
Overture
They released their first version of their data. CJ has reviewed the first drop and compared the POI data.
There is data which might be able to be brought back into OSM. it appears to be a mix of ODbL and CDLA Permissive v 2.0. CDLA Permissive v 2.0 is compatible with the LWG, but the quality of their building and POI can be poor. Either old data or poor location.
Maybe POI could be a QP in 2024?
There was also a query if Defibrillators/AEDs could be a QP in 2024?
