This helps - thanks. I was worried about a future where no photos/livestreams/videos of anything involving the WMF board were possible, but providing this is mitigated as you say then that helps. > On 2 Dec 2017, at 09:33, María Sefidari <[email protected]> wrote: > > Esra'a is not > requesting "security by obscurity" - she already has had ample media > coverage and recognition, as can be read in the announcement. To be clear, it’s obscurity of photos, not obscurity of the person, that I was referring to here. Which lasts right up to the point where a well-meaning volunteer posts a photo online. And that’s leaving aside all the CCTV coverage in today’s world, which governments etc. have access to… But clearly my worry isn’t significantly shared by others, so I’ll park this here. And, to be clear, I think Esra’a is an excellent addition to the WMF board.
