[ … ] Thanks Ian. I wonder if something like this would find favour too, at least as an option on the ballot. I'm not convinced about it, but I want to float it for the consideration of others. ======================================================================== Title: debian-private shall remain private 1. The 2005 General Resolution titled "Declassification of debian-private list archives" is repealed. 2. There shall be no declassification of any portion of the debian-private archives, except when the authors of all material being declassified have explicitly consented. 3. Participants are reminded to use -private only when necessary. ======================================================================== It has the effect of removing any question about whether d-private can be declassified while the GR is still in force. It's doubtful whether listmasters or anyone else will ever propose a process for declassifying the archives if this GR passes, but such a proposal and the subsequent discussions could end up costing the project a lot of energy. This option aims to remove that risk. (I'm going to be away from tomorrow for a week, and I won't be able to propose it before I'm back - somebody else could do so.)
