[Foundation-l] R: OTRS identification policy

[Riccardo Burdisso]

Grazie (thanks) Philippe,
 I think this is the best choice and shows the attention that WMF has
towards its volunteer.
 I am confident that by working together, you will find a solution
acceptable for both WMF and for most users.

Oggetto: [Foundation-l] OTRS identification policy

Hi everyone,

Several people have raised important questions on this list about the
identification policy as it applies to OTRS volunteers.

Together with interim counsel and other members of the community
department, I have been reviewing our compliance with, and interpretation
of, Wikimedia Foundation policies including the access to nonpublic data
policy.  Based on a risk assessment, we decided that we needed more
consistent identification of OTRS volunteers, and retention of
identification data..

Both on the OTRS mailing list and here, people have rightly pointed out
the complexity of this issue. More discussion is clearly needed, and we
will therefore table the issue and review it in more detail with our new
General Counsel, Geoff, and with the community, once Geoff has had an
opportunity to be brought in and get acquainted with the community.

For those who have not sent identification yet, feel free to defer doing
so. For those who have provided ID, we will destroy it on request (we may
have to again obtain it if we finally conclude that retention is
necessary).
