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debian-private list archives" is repealed.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.)
Cheers,
