Hi,
PMJI.
[short]
I've read this thread and I'm getting the impression that '@mozilla.org
for every Mozillian' is something that really shouldn't be happening
no matter how some feel it should. IOW, just give '@mozilla.org' to
Mozilla reps.

There is an idea: '@mozilla.org' to every Mozillian.
Now 'we' need to add a bunch of obstacles and hoops in the way of
attaining that goal.
Rationales for doing the obstacles and hoops:
- (Not quoting anyone here.. just a feeling) "After all, we don't
want rapscallions and bad people ruining Mozilla's reputation."
- We should just limit it to Mozilla Reps and paid staff first.
- just to test the 'waters' and to ensure that there's
infrastructure to scale out (for the possibility of
adding every Mozillian)
"I have a bunch of candies for everyone. But first, you need
to sign a form, and get approval..etc.." Get the idea?
I mean if you have something that you'd like to give to people,
but then find a bunch of rationales for preventing it being
given to 'bad apples', you're just setting up yourself for
churning. I mean. As you increase the # of recipients of
an item, you're bound to give it to someone who really shouldn't
be having it.
My opinion? Just permit Mozilla Reps to have the 'mozilla.org'
email address and be done with it. Paid staff already have
the 'mozilla.com' address so having 'mozilla.org' for them
is just redundant. The infrastructure required isn't as
hefty as for the whole Mozillian group(of course, it also depends
on how the 'mozilla.org' email address works. Is it just an alias,
or a full fledged email address?).
I don't feel any less of being a Mozillian without the 'mozilla.org'
email address. Just as having one doesn't make me more Mozillian.

Now as I write this, I wonder if I just made the cut for poster
boy for Mark Twain's quote:
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool
than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
