[Foundation-l] identity disclosure and access to OTRS/Checkuser

Hi,

What is the official policy and requirements for OTRS and Checkuser volunteers, who both have access to private information, to disclose themselves to the WMF? What are they required to reveal to the Foundation, and how is that information vetted and verified? How does this line up with the WMF's board policy on private material?

There was a comment from someone who helped draft original OTRS policy, and who was an administrator and Arbitration Committee member on the English Wikipedia, that some individuals for some reason do not have to disclose themselves, which sounded odd, and another person, a current Board candidate, stated that his entire disclosure to the WMF consisted of a Gmail stating his name and age. That seems... rather concerning on the former, and rather thin on the latter.

Thanks!
