Hi, taking this as a follow up on the irc meeting today, one of the questions that came up was "what is the reason that WMF is collecting/storing this data". To be clear, with that we did not mean "because the board told us to" but rather what the purpose is: is it because you are legally required to store it for the US Govt, do you want to be able to sue the volunteers if they misbehave, do you want to confirm they are real people etc. Based on that, people can probably increase their understanding of the recent changes.
The Foundation people on IRC were unfortunately unable to answer. Christine promised to find it out and report back here soon, so this is just a reminder - no need to have big discussions until then. Thanks, Lodewijk _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
