oh, sorry; of course. My mistake.

Perhaps it may be best to point discussions of the privacy policy itself to the *meta* talk page, considering that not all users have accounts on the Foundation wiki and that wiki itself isn't the ideal location for discussions.

So that would be http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Privacy_policy.

Greetings,

I got several requests about this, so this mail is mostly to get the ball rolling. Nothing urgent !

Checkuser ombudsmen have been appointed now a year ago by the board. http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Ombudsperson_checkuser

I guess it is time for a renewal and little feedback on this, and more generally, on checkusers.

So, please reflect on the following points if appropriate

1. is there any change to the checkuser policy that you might wish to

suggest ? If so, please comment here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Checkuser (talk page)

2. are they currently checkusers who still do not comply with the data

access policy ? Perhaps Cary can give a private feedback on this.

3. are they inactive checkusers ? If so, according to policy, they

should be removed. Can someone make a summary of activity, in the same way that stewards activity perhaps ?

4. is there any change to the privacy policy that you might wish to

suggest ? If so, http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy (talk page)

5. is there any change to suggest about the ombudsmen committee role ?

Clarifications ? If so, please here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman_committee (talk page).

6. last year, ombudsmen committee was appointed by the board. Maybe this

year, we can do it differently, and have the community approve/vote people and Foundation "sanctify" the community choice ? If so, how would you suggest doing that ? Similar that steward election ? Or is there another preferred solution ?

Please take the time to give a feedback on this within the next 2-3 weeks, so that we can move on end of august on the topic.

Thanks

Ant
