The OpenStreetMap Foundation was registered in [[England and Wales]] on 22 August 2006 as a [[company limited by guarantee]].<ref name=companieshouse /> In 2007, it held the first [[State of the Map]] conference in [[Manchester]].
In October 2009, the foundation announced that its members, rather than the OpenStreetMap contributors at large, would vote on changing OpenStreetMap's data license from [[Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike]] to the [[Open Database License]].<ref name="Bégin">{{cite journal|title=Contributors’ enrollment in collaborative online communities: the case of OpenStreetMap|first1=Daniel|last1=Bégin|first2=Rodolphe|last2=Devillers|first3=Stéphane|last3=Roche|work=[[International Journal of Geographical Information Science]]|publisher=Taylor & Francis|volume=32|issue=8|date=2018|pages=1611–1630|doi=10.1080/10095020.2017.1370177|doi-access=free}}</ref>
== Governance ==
The OpenStreetMap Foundation is a [[membership organization]]. Membership in the foundation is separate from a user account on the OpenStreetMap website: a user account is required to contribute to the map, while foundation membership entitles one to vote at a general meeting.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Corporate Editors in the Evolving Landscape of OpenStreetMap|first1=Jennings|last1=Anderson|first2=Dipto|last2=Sarkar|first3=Leysia|last3=Palen|work=[[ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information]]|publisher=International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing|volume=8|issue=5|date=May 18, 2019|page=232|doi=10.3390/ijgi8050232|doi-access=free}}</ref>
The foundation is run by a board of seven members, including the foundation's officers: chairman, secretary and treasurer.<ref name=board /> The board is elected by the foundation's dues-paying members. {{Asof|2020|12}}, the board consists of [[Allan Mustard]] (Chairperson), Rory McCann (Secretary), Guillaume Rischard (Treasurer), Tobias Knerr, Jean-Marc Liotier, Mikel Maron, and Eugene Alvin Villar.<ref>{{cite web|title=Officers & Board|url=https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Officers_%26_Board}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board_Member_Bios|title=Board Member Bios|publisher=OpenStreetMap Foundation}}</ref>
