I'm drafting a Board resolution to clarify the existing resolutions "Licensing policy" and "Access to nonpublic data", as follows:
- Paragraph 4 of Resolution:Access to nonpublic data is clarified: The
access policies for OTRS e-mail queues or other communication systems of the Wikimedia Foundation are defined by WMF office staff in accordance with the intent of the resolution.
It seems that the effect of this is to give office staff a blank cheque for writing these policies.
I doubt this. It clearly states "in accordance with the intent of the resolution". If the board feels that the staff-defined policies are not in accordance with the intent of the resolution, it can step in and direct the staff to change the policy.
