[Joshua Utter <biblianthrope@xxxxxxxxx>]

Almost forgot:  regarding your concerns for identifying who is authorized in
which systems, I gather that there's a larger security discussion that needs
to be had here, and I think we'd benefit from having someone who's dealt
with this kind of thing before putting together a proposal document to
outline the potential risks, and what steps can/should be taken to mitigate
them.  I would like to be able to publish this because I'm sure it would be
important for our members to know whether we'd sell their contact
information to barackobama.com, for example.  Anyone on the launchpad dev
list wanna start that process?
