Re: [Translators-l] [Foundation-l] Note regarding status of privacy policy

Sure, I'll wait an extra week before asking the board to vote, although I don't want to delay much beyond that.

Work on this initiative started even before our April board meeting, and at some point this particular segment needs to be brought to a conclusion. Which is not to say the policy will never again be revised or revisited - Mike is still making revisions based on feedback he's received. I asked initially if there were any dealbreakers or aspects that were seriously misleading, and nobody's identified issues of that nature to me. So I'm still inclined to think the draft is good and, as a significant step forward from the existing policy, should be adopted "with all deliberate speed". I appreciate that there's considerable interest in how this relates to the Checkuser tool, even though that's mentioned only a handful of times. This draft is not trying to be the Checkuser policy, and as Sue has pointed out, that role and therefore the details of its policy are within the control of the community rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. But I certainly encourage people to review the policy and practices of their projects in light of the overall privacy policy. (I'm sorry, I thought I heard something there. Did somebody say Volunteer Council?) --Michael Snow _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
