The following policy '2013-01 Openness about Policy Violations' started it's trip through the PDP yesterday. While the discussions on this proposal will take place in the Anti-Abuse working group, I just wanted to make sure this WG was aware as there are obvious implications for NCC processes & procedures.
Utterly and completely unacceptable. The proposal, in its current form, is akin to the police publishing every complaint they receive, with full details of the subject of the complaint, whether justified or not. I also note that is "The identity of the submitter, if the submitter indicated that it can be made public;" No such protection is afforded the subject of the complaint. This proposal is nothing but a denunciant's charter, the legality of which is doubtful (NCC Legal please to comment). The idea that publishing these reports makes abuse of the reporting system less likely - where the attack *is* the publishing of these reports - is laughable. I therefore register my vehement opposition and, indeed, protest against this proposal in its current form. As a possible compromise, I could accept the publication of reports where the NCC has found that a violation was indeed committed. Regards, Sascha Luck
