Hello,

At the last board meeting, the board approved the following resolution:

the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, consistent with its
long-standing commitment to minimizing the data retention of users and
editors, adopts the policy of retaining the least of amount personally
identifiable information consistent with maintenance of its services,
with its privacy policy, or as required by state or federal legal
provisions under United States of America law.

------------

If you have any question about this resolution, please ask ;-)

Florence

Hi, thanks for heading up.

Hi,

thanks for letting us know. Is this any change with the past? (I was
under the assumption that this policy was already the case actually)
or is it just formalizing what we are doing already? Is it already
clear what practical consequences this would have for, for example,
checkuser data? (maybe this is more a question to Mike, but whoever
wants to pick it up, please :) )

BR, Lodewijk

Well, past was kind of undefined. This resolution gives us clear
guidelines, what we want to comply with, and a place to point at
anyone who wants more(or less) than what we do.

"consistent with maintenance of its services" is key word, which
allows us to evaluate our needs.
This resolution allows to develop proper privacy policy and data
retention documentation, both for content community, and law
enforcement community.

Can the board identify which specific laws are involved?
