I think we need to put up notices around the website saying that mappers, members and staff of OpenStreetMap Foundation have the right to work without fear of malice, just like what the notices on the London buses say.

I would like to see more context but from the like the person called up a member’s employer and tried to spread information of their supposed illegal activity. It also said this person in question made offers of assassination funds for the deaths of other mappers. I don’t think we need to explicitly state this just as we don’t need to remind people on the foundation to eat, breath and excrete body waste. If you slander or threaten people it is crossing not only the foundations principles but legal ones. This seems to be in an active police investigation and not much more should be needed.

Completely support what @redsteakraw said above. OSMF has no power or authority to protect anyone from any illegal activity of others, it’s a scope of law enforcement agencies.
