[AusNOG] AUSNOG in the news

[Philip Loenneker]

Is the issue that people don’t want their name put in an article with their quote, or they don’t want to be quoted at all? If people just don’t want their name attached to the quote, then can we just anonymise the data? That would remove some validity from a quote (who cares what catlover87 thinks about data retention?) and especially removes business identities.

I know this would change the way people use the list, in particular with private replies to individuals instead of posting to the list, but we all know that security and functionality is a constant compromise.

and how do you propose that that be enforced? You can't enforce it, you can make it members only and still not enforce it since anyone can sub to the list then access it, and thanks to likes of gmail/hotmail/yahoo etc, you'll have absolutely no idea who it is, so all this talk although entertaining, is kinda silly and waste of bandwith :)

One suggestion is to put a disclaimer before being able to access the public archives stating that permission will be required before using this content blah blah blah legal speak.

It can still be publicly accessible, just some guidelines should be set for people wishing to quote the content without permission or used out of context.

Similarly, the charter might need to reviewed to cover off any potential issues which may occur in the future.

You could still gain access to the archives, but only under the conditions of your subscription, conditions which reflect the openness of the list, without the risk of being quoted by the media.

There's no reason why a journalist couldn't still subscribe to the list, however they wouldn't be able to use the content of the list without approval from the mods, and the author of the email.
