Ireland is out, because of a requirement for directors to be residents France too, because of the difficulty in guaranteeing English-language services. The move may still not happen if the foundation can’t find a suitable country to relocate to. The increased importance of the EU in matters of tech regulation also played a role: “We could more effectively lobby the EU EU governments and have more of an impact, especially in countries where there is no local chapter,” Rischard wrote.
Other concerns Rischard listed include the increasing complexity and cost of “banking, finance and using PayPal in the UK”, the inability for the organisation to secure charitable status, and the loss of. But since Brexit, any database made on or after 1 January 2021 in the UK will not be protected in the EU, and vice versa. Maps, as a simple factual representation of the world, are not covered by copyright in the same way, but until Brexit were covered by an EU-wide agreement that protected databases where there had been “a substantial investment in obtaining, verifying or presenting the data”. While both have an agreement to recognise copyright protections, that only covers work which is creative in nature. Realistically, that’s often something you earn later on in your. When you have little experience to make yourself stand out, it’s harder to make the case that you shouldn’t have to relocate. It could be advantageous to your career trajectory to be willing to be flexible. One “important reason”, Rischard said, was the failure of the UK and EU to agree on mutual recognition of database rights. You have to weigh if this risk or opportunity is best for you. “There is not one reason for moving, but a multitude of paper cuts, most of which have been triggered or amplified by Brexit,” Guillaume Rischard, the organisation’s treasurer, told members of the foundation in an email sent earlier this month. The article itself was based on an earlier internal email that was sent by the OSM. That statement you quoted was in response to The Guardian asking for more information. Open-source UK tech company cites copyright issues, rising costs and prospect of more influence in EU. strubbllemmy.ml to OpenStreetMap communitylemmy.ml 1Y 0 Comments. OpenStreetMap looks to relocate to EU due to Brexit limitations. we are talking about something that is going to play a huge role in the years ahead in terms of forcing people to leave their homes.Basically the guardian took this one statement and turned it into a whole article. OpenStreetMap looks to relocate to EU due to Brexit limitations. “Millions of people are going to be at risk from extreme heat, extreme water shortages and flooding as well as sea level rises. More Americans are planning to move this year due to the flexible work from home lifestyle that the Covid-19 pandemic has ushered in, market researcher The NPD Group said.
The authors say although the study was focussed on Roi-Namur Island on Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall Islands, the results will apply to people living in atolls around the world – including the Caroline Islands, Cook Islands, Gilbert Islands, Line Islands, Society Islands, Spratly Islands, Maldives, Seychelles, and north-western Hawaiian Islands.īut the fate of people living on atolls will be just one part of the much wider climate migration crisis, said Dina Ionesco, head of migration, environment and climate change at the International Organisation for Migration. Rainfall later in the year is not enough to flush out the saltwater and refresh the island’s water supply before the next year’s storms arrive repeating the overwash event,” explained Stephen Gingerich, USGS hydrologist and co-author of the new report. “The overwash events generally result in salty ocean water seeping into the ground and contaminating the freshwater aquifer.
But as atoll islands are regularly swamped by salt water this freshwater will be contaminated making “human habitation difficult in most locations beginning between the 2030s to 2060s, requiring the relocation of island inhabitants or significant financial investments in new infrastructure.” The primary source of freshwater for populated atoll islands is rain that soaks into the ground and remains there as a layer of fresh groundwater that floats on top of denser saltwater, according to the study. “The tipping point when potable groundwater on the majority of atoll islands will be unavailable is projected to be reached no later than the middle of the 21st century.” Saltwater flooding, leading to the contamination of water sources, will see most atolls become uninhabitable sometime between 20, said Curt Storlazzi, USGS geologist and lead author of the new report.
