From: Austin Heap <[email protected]> Date: August 23, 2010 8:27:43 PM EDT To: [email protected] Subject: [liberationtech] Haystack Q&A Hi All, I understand some of you have concerns/comments regarding our project. It would be great if a list could be compiled of 1) tech concerns and 2) other concerns since it's a bit much for me to dig through all the past discussions. I understand the OFAC questions are mostly cleared up. There was one comment about the month delay between Hillarys comment about our organization and our announcement. We, as an organization, were under zero obligation to make the license public, but wanted to let people know we were moving forward with project hurdles. OFAC/State left the decision in our hands to disclose the license or not. These licenses are generally not made public because, let's face it, it would be stupid on their behalf to out the people they're licensing in many cases. I completely understand that the lack of transparency is frustrating to some. As many of you know, some of the issues we're dealing with here at Haystack are rather sensitive so we prefer to be overly cautious for the moment. Also, if we answered everyone's demanding emails, we'd get nothing done. We're a small team and just trying to do things right. So we're grateful for the expert mentor-ship we have thus far received. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from many of you and I look forward to a constructive, mature conversation. I'll be as transparent as our organization has decided to be, and I trust that will be respected. For those individual(s) on this list who have a history of being confrontational in order to grab attention, I won't be responding to your emails. Grow up. Thanks all, I hope to learn much from all your experiences and hope to make our project as best as it can be with your insights, All bests, Austin_______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list [email protected] Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech Katrin Verclas MobileActive.org [email protected] skype/twitter: katrinskaya (347) 281-7191 A global network of people using mobile technology for social impact http://mobileactive.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [email protected]
