Re: Release Candidate of the PostgreSQL Europe association statutes

Ciao Koen,

Exactly, that's what I was thinking too.

We have strict policies for IT-PUG as far as privacy and data collection
are concerned, in order to protect privacy.

However, I think that if we study a proper solution, we can easily get
over them. After all we just need security precautions and transparency
towards users.

I guess one solutoin is that the EU is responsible for writing privacy
policies and maintaining a secure database of users' data. For those
users that directly adhere to the EU PUG (because they are in countries
without local or localised groups), they MUST accept the privacy statement.

Those users that belong to a local group and accept the local group
policy, might be informed that they could become members of the EU PUG
if they want and they are asked to accept another privacy disclaimer.

I guess this scenario would be fine.
