[Foundation-l] checkuser

[Casey Brown]

How many cases there were...
What were the accusations... (nothing specific i.e. what sort of abuse)
Where they all solved... (how fast?)
What were the threats...

There are many other possible questions as well.  It is best to see what the
Ombudsman themselves share.

I can't see why that would be necessary. Considering the ombudsman  
commission is there to investigate breaches of privacy policy,  
including potentionally litigious instances (as taken from the  
resolution), I don't see what's necessary out of that for the public  
to be aware of. I don't see much information would be available to be  
given about the cases individually due to privacy concerns: what  
little information would be left is what...how many cases there are?
