Ugh,

I just got done drafting THIS version of the document incorporating the things we’d discussed and some of Ayden’s language that helped make the statements more clear.  I don’t have time to reconcile the two right now, but the reordering under purposes we discussed and the explanatory language prior to the details are the most important things from my angle.  Most of Ayden’s comments/edits fell into what I would call “questions” or “re-factoring to fit into a particular view on how things should be rather than are” so they were left unaddressed at this stage.  Happy to talk further about things like accreditation, appropriate data for purposes etc. in future stages, but what’s in there now is what is actually being done and should be presented that way whether it is eventually agreed to or not - those are policy decisions we need to weigh in on.  Just a side note on one change - being a white man married to a black woman, I find the whole idea that terms of art like whitelist/blacklist/graylist are somehow offensive racially is just plain silly.  That being said, I changed the white list term to “allow list” which is an actual term of art - safelist is not in this context that I’m aware of (no one would publish a “safe” list since that could create a major liability problem).

Marika, think I could impose upon you to merge these two versions?

Thanks!
