Hi all, Well, I think an annual report is a good idea. However, there is not much we are allowed to report, for obvious reasons. I can tell you that we had a number of requests (about 30, depending on what you count as request), some of which were pretty difficult to deal with and therefore took a while (or are still pending). We cannot tell you which projects (or even people) were involved or what the results were. Sometimes, the language barrier was a bit hindering, so I pretty much appreciate the effort to maintain a level of language diversity within the committee, also for future committee searches.
However, I want to point out that at least half of the requests that came to us, had nothing to do with the privacy policy and were therefore not dealt with in detail. We always tried to direct the people to the right place where they could get help for their individual problem, but we do not know if they actually got help. In most of these cases, the problem was more of a sort an arbcom would be able to deal with. I (personally) still very much support the idea of creating a Global Requests Committee, the proposal for which was developed last year, but has not yet been created, for whatever reason. This body could handle such and similar requests and some other things and it would ease our work as we could just give such cases to this body.
