Hi.

As we discussed in our recent meetings, there is a desire to make this mailing list a public mailing list. This is consistent with everyone's interest to make these important discussions transparent and visible to our wider community.

In order to make that change, we would like to inform you that all previous communications on this mailing list and your email addresses will become part of the newly-public mailing list archive. As a result, your data and those communications will not be confidential and will be shared publicly.

If you do not agree to this, please notify Winifred Olliff via email at wolliff@wikimedia.org, of your desire to opt-out and your name and information will be removed from the mailing list prior to making it public, after which we shall have to figure out a way to support your participation without exposing your e-mail address.

If you don't mind the discussions being public but would like your e-mail address to remain protected, please consider writing to Winifred with an alternate e-mail address we can subscribe you with, and we will unsubscribe your existing one and re-subscribe you with the new one.

Please opt-out by May 15, 2012; after that date, the list and its contents will be made public.

Cheers,

Asaf
