<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The author of this email is a relatively new volunteer to
Wikipedia, who has taken on the responsibility of coordinating the CVs.
The idea is to send CVs of staff, i.e., of committed volunteers with
some credentials. This would include the board and developers, but also
prominent users. If anyone is uncomfortable sending this information to
him, you may forward it to me. It may now be too late, though I still
hold out hope, however, it is something that other grants will want
too. I can assure you that I will protect your privacy and foreward the
grants directly to whomever is taking care of the particular grants in
question. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>For the record, Alterego has told me that he is an American
citizen living in Italy and that he is a journalist. From his
impeccable English and his IP, I have no reason to doubt this, though I
can understand people's reluctance to give personal information away so
quickly. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the event that this information is needed for other grants,
you will be asked again in each instance whether you mind having your
name attached to the grant. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Danny</div>

Relatively new is an understatement, given the contribution history.
I'm willing to suspend my suspicions about Alterego having ulterior
motives for collecting this information, but I still would recommend
that anyone who submits such information send it to Danny, not to
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:reflection@gmail.com">"reflection@gmail.com"</a>.<br>
<br>
In general, as the Foundation acquires personal information about
various contributors that they haven't made publicly available on the
wiki, we need to be sure that information is kept separate and not
disclosed to anyone inappropriately.<br>
