I'm one of the report authors, and was elected to the OpenStreetMap Foundation board one year later. One candidate thought that the OSMF shouldn't ever choose who gets to be a member. We respectfully agreed to disagree. The other candidate, despite being shown all the evidence, thought that there was nothing nefarious, and that asking the OSMF board to investigate was a "witch hunt". The previous OSMF board chairperson and secretary are no longer active in the OpenStreetMap project.
