I appreciate that clarification, but it strictly contradicts this edit from 11 days ago: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Research:Subject_recruitment&diff=3546474&oldid=2703471 about which Dario said, "I appreciate the documentation on the review procedure" at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Subject_recruitment I think there are some very serious ethical issues here. Requiring Research Committee approval to contact editors or users was explicitly rejected by the Research Committee: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Committee/Meetings/Meeting_2010-09-18/Log As far as I can tell, the Research Committee has not discussed the topic since. I wonder what the community thinks of this new requirement.
