I think it would be good to discuss this with the Ombudsman Commission and some functionary groups to get a broad range of opinions. An RFC on Meta seems appropriate to me, and you can send invitations to functionary groups to request comment. A similar RFC was done relating to the scope of the Ombudsman Commission. Any other suggestions for global Checkuser policy updates would be good to bundle with this one. It may be good to review the CU policy in light of recent privacy policy changes. It's challenging to have a discussion about CU policies and practices without revealing more to socks than we might want them to know. Please keep that in mind when discussing this in public. Pine
