Oh, I wasn't aware of this decision. And I can confirm that I agree |
| 25 |
with the decision taken in the meeting and so that it addresses my item. |

Unfortunatetly, it doesn't looks like it was addressed and/or clarified |
| 28 |
in the glep-0076.rst document by looking at the git history.[3] |

Okay, wasn't sure of the policy regarding legal names as it quite |
| 38 |
depends between something you can use for administrative purposes and |
| 39 |
something like a identity document like a passport. |
| 40 |
So might be a good idea to clarify this one to be sure that people are |
| 41 |
going to use the right one. |
