From: tille@debian.org   
      
   Dear fellow developers,   
      
   Following the end of the previous delegation, Debian was left without an   
   active Data Protection team. This situation has understandably drawn   
   external attention and highlighted the importance of having a clearly   
   identified point of contact for data protection matters within the   
   project.   
      
   I am therefore very pleased to announce that new volunteers have stepped   
   forward, allowing us to re-establish the Debian Data Protection team   
   with a fresh delegation.   
      
   Delegation   
   ----------   
      
   I hereby appoint the following as members of the Debian Data Protection   
   team:   
      
    - Aigars Mahinovs          
    - Andrew M.A. Cater        
    - Bart Martens             
    - Emmanuel Arias           
    - Gunnar Wolf              
    - Kiran S Kunjumon         
    - Salvo Tomaselli          
      
   This delegation replaces all previous delegations of the team.  The   
   delegation is not time-limited; it will be effective until further   
   changes by present or future Project Leaders.   
      
      
   Task Description   
   ----------------   
      
   How we handle personal information is something the entire project needs to   
   be aware of. This team provides a centralised point for both external and   
   internal queries to ensure Debian takes appropriate care when dealing with   
   such information.   
      
    - Single contact point for external queries about data the Project may   
      hold.   
      
      It is accepted that Debian is a large and complex project especially   
      when viewed from the outside. Services under the debian.org   
      infrastructure are often operated by different project members with no   
      consistent method of reaching them. The Debian Data Protection team   
      provides a central coordination and advisory role to support this work   
      and to help ensure that appropriate care is taken when dealing with   
      personal information.   
      
    - Advice service for project members.   
      
      Data protection is an issue all service owners need to be concerned   
      with. The Debian Data Protection team will provide guidance to Project   
      members about how to apply appropriate data protection principles to   
      their service such as data minimisation, appropriate retention policies   
      and dealing with deletion requests, etc.   
      
      
   Authority and Cooperation   
   -------------------------   
      
   In order to effectively fulfil its tasks, the Debian Data Protection team   
   must be able to rely on the cooperation of other teams and service owners   
   within the project.   
      
   Where the team determines that action is required to address data   
   protection concerns or legal obligations, teams responsible for relevant   
   services are expected to follow the advice of the Data Protection team.   
   This includes, but is not limited to:   
      
    - The Mailing Lists admins   
    - The Bug Tracking System admins   
    - The Archive Operations team   
    - New Members Front Desk   
    - MRs for web content   
    - Uploads of packages   
      
   This authority is limited to matters directly related to the handling of   
   personal data. It does not otherwise transfer ownership or ongoing   
   responsibility for services.   
      
      
   Contact   
   -------   
      
   The team can be contacted at data-protection@debian.org.   
      
      
   Andreas   
   Debian Project Leader
