Hello,

Mike has written a new version of the privacy policy, taking into 
account comments made on meta and this list, until the 19th of June.

You may find this new version here:

I apology to those of you who worked on another draft in parallel. In an 
ideal world, people would agree to work in the same place together (eg, 
meta), rather than a mix of private and public wikis.
And in an ideal world, the Chair would not have to do the back and fro 
between people to make sure input from everyone is collected.

But unfortunately (breaking news !!!), we do not live in an ideal world.

So, here is the new version; and, if possible, I'd like all those who 
made comments until now, or those who worked on the parallel version, to 
check if the new "lawyer approved" version seems fine or not. Please do 
not hesitate to give a feedback.

Bad news, the board meeting is this evening and I am running out of time 
this afternoon. So, if you guys think there is still work to do on it, 
I'll remove it from the agenda this evening and it will be put on July 
agenda. If no comment, I'll put it up for a vote. Sorry for the short delay.
