By the way, not sure of the definition of new. It's been on some lists for over a year now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Guerra" <lists@privaterra.info> To: "At-Large Worldwide" <alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 12:15 PM Subject: Re: [At-Large] Tracking of our messages - not a privacy violation.. ?
John & Vini:
My interest is to - start a discussion on this, and from there see what consensus (if any) emerges on the issue.
My personal view, is that a new practice was introduced - one that wasn't sufficiently explained nor discussed before the weekly summaries started to appear. How and for what purposes the stats are being used, might be legally required in certain jurisdictions.
Great to see this is being discussed. I am keen to hear views from others - and from there, identify any recommendations (if any) that should be sent to staff and/or the board.
regards
Robert

I look forward to hearing what others think about this
Monthly posting summaries are common on lists at many organizations such as the IETF with participants from around the world. They're a useful way to track the health of a list. Since the summaries are sent to the same list where everyone has already seen all of the messages, it's hard to think of any reasonable basis on which this would be a privacy violation.
and what steps (if any) we might want to take ..
None I can think of.
