Even if they are uploaded in good faith ("I put them on Flickr with permission and now I'm uploading them to Commons"), it's still desirable to ask for evidence of consent specifically for uploading to Commons, because publishing a photo of a person in the nude in Flickr's NSFW ghetto is quite different from having that same photograph on Commons and potentially used on Wikipedia.

<snip> Erik's interpretation, which I believe reflects the intent of the board resolution.

We need to be careful here. Does Erik's statement of what is desirable (the word he used) truly read to you as an interpretation of the resolution? I think not. In fact, Erik has used similar language ("consent to be photographed") on this very list. Speaking of what is desirable is a very different thing than interpreting a resolution.

Meanwhile, we still have the issue that the resolution does not address what is being consented to. It's plain English, and it's simply not stated. Trying to interpret something that is simply not there doesn't seem like a good use of our time.

But pushing to develop and pass a more helpfully-worded resolution does.
