Hi,
thanks for letting us know. Is this any change with the past? (I was under the assumption that this policy was already the case actually) or is it just formalizing what we are doing already? Is it already clear what practical consequences this would have for, for example, checkuser data? (maybe this is more a question to Mike, but whoever wants to pick it up, please :) )

Well, past was kind of undefined. This resolution gives us clear guidelines, what we want to comply with, and a place to point at anyone who wants more(or less) than what we do.
clear what practical consequences this would have for, for example, checkuser data? (maybe this is more a question to Mike, but whoever wants to pick it up, please :) )
"consistent with maintenance of its services" is key word, which allows us to evaluate our needs. This resolution allows to develop proper privacy policy and data retention documentation, both for content community, and law enforcement community.
BR,
Can the board identify which specific laws are involved?
