I think your intent is good (and thankyou), I was only concerned with |
16 |
the implementation/access :-) |

FYI: The university where I recently worked (Australia, subject to |
19 |
Privacy Act 2000) had staff information pages which where controlled by |
20 |
each staff member. Each staff member selected what information they |
21 |
wanted to disclose and posted it themselves. All requests for staff |
22 |
information (eg name, email address) from (eg) students were referred to |
23 |
the relevant page. This policy avoided accidental or intentional |
24 |
disclose of personal information. |

If, for example, gentoo wanted to use such information in, say the |
27 |
weekly news letter, the newsletter writer could refer to the relevant |
28 |
page and see what info was available for use. |
