[edit] Superb post
- But hearing the rumor on IRC that the person who is supposed to organize all this doesn't know what PGP is made me wonder if anyone even thought about these issues.
Is there any truth to this?
Regardless, excellent post that summarises a lot of concerns regarding this resolution, including the lack of research beforehand (to see how it would affect operations), lack of actual thinking (regarding the practical issues of actually complying with this) and lack of communication to the people it affects, which cycles back to point to the first issue again.

No, it's nonsense
Someone evidently misinterpreted a comment I made to another user about a specific type of PGP that I'd never used. It suddenly becomes now that the person organizing it don't know what PGP is. I know what PGP is. Cary Bass 13:39, 3 May 2007 (CEST)
I'm really sorry about this mistake. I have corrected it in the article. -- Daniel 14:05, 3 May 2007 (CEST)

- i don't see anything about trust here. the resolution is about accountability. —river
- Well, that's two sides of the same coin, I think. Actually, it was a point I was trying to make: holding people accountable is the only form for trust an organization knows, really. The larger and more "professional" the organization is, the more this is true.
- Anyway, I was reporting how people feel about this. And they do feel like they are no longer trusted. -- Daniel 02:57, 5 May 2007 (CEST) 02:56, 5 May 2007 (CEST)
- I remember when the first people were being given checkuser on en wikinews. There was a couple emails back and forth as to wether minors would be allowed, and the answer was yes they were(this was ~ june 2006). Has there ever been an issue to spark this policy? Honestly a 14 year old can just as easily spread private information as a 46 year old. n:user:Bawolff

[edit] PGP or GnuPG
I'm sorry, but it does not make things any better to know that Cary knows PGP. It still shows that he has no idea on how to handle such sensitive data. Or is he going to encrypt the data using PGP?
