Dear developers,

the Data Protection Team urgently needs new members.

The Data Protection Team was started in 2018 in the light of new
European data protection legislation, to provide a point of contact for
external queries about what data Debian holds, and to advise Debian
members about the project's data protection obligations. The team drew
up the public privacy policy[0], and has passed on requests from
individuals as appropriate.

All three delegated members of the Data Protection Team have now stepped
back from this task. I would like to sincerely thank Jonathan McDowell
(noodles), Tollef Fog Heen (tfheen), and Matthew Vernon (matthew) for
their work on the team.  As they have stepped back from the role, their
delegation is hereby revoked.

The fact that all team members have stepped back at the same time should
make it clear that we urgently need new volunteers to fulfil this role.

Despite a constructive discussion at Debconf this year, no-one has come
forward to join the Data Protection Team, and the existing team have all
resigned. This means that currently any data protection enquiries come
to the DPL, who already has too much to do.

If you're interested in data protection / privacy, and would be
interested in improving the existing privacy policy and working with
teams who process personal data to improve the workflows for handling
data protection-related requests, then please get in touch!

Andreas
Debian Project Leader
