GDPR Update

Doug notes that for those having issues with "other" on onetrust form in some browsers has been fixed. Suggests implementing a workflow involving GDPR officers to ensure user identity deletion via a p.o.o. ticketing system. The tool facilitates validations, ensuring compliance and proper handling of privacy-related processes.

Proposal for Permanent Records of Banned Persons

  • Establish permanent records for banned individuals to ensure

consistency and transparency in enforcement.

  • Current decisions rely on collective memory, which is unreliable over time.
  • Records should be maintained and accessible to moderators, the board

and membership officials.

Proposal for openSUSE Ban Process Regulation

  • The openSUSE community upholds a strict code of conduct to ensure a

respectful and productive environment. Bans may be issued for violations, escalating from temporary bans to permanent and lifetime bans. 

** Temporary Bans: Issued for initial or minor infractions, typically

lasting up to three months. 

** Six-Month Bans: Serve as a clear warning that any further

violations will result in a permanent ban. 

** Permanent Bans: Imposed for repeated or severe violations.

Individuals may apply for reinstatement after one year; however, reinstatement is not guaranteed and subject to Board review. 

** Lifetime Bans: Reserved for the most egregious violations,

including but not limited to harassment, ban evasion, and misuse of resources. Lifetime bans are irrevocable. 

* What about Revoking memberships?
* What about Revoking IDP Account access? If so, how does it affect

people who need it for their job?

  • A final warning may precede a permanent ban, making clear the

consequences of further infractions. All bans are documented to ensure transparency and consistency in enforcement.
