Dear Mikael
Permission from the sender does not seem to be enough. The scope might need
to encompass anybody specifically mentioned in those emails. It needs to be
clarified or defined whether the screening real names or replacing them
with identifiable initials or predefined random set of letters (specified
for each person in advance) resolves the issue. Unless that happens, it
makes things complicated. One remains free to let their real name stay
unmasked, if they choose to. My vote would be that if anybody publishes
their own email in a public forum, they should mask the real names of any
person mentioned in the email and replace it with predefined letters for
the respective individual(s). If anybody would like to publish some email
that somebody else has authored, they need to gain permission from the
respective author and apply the same real name masking process as mentioned
above. In that case, it further needs to be defined whether a simple nod is
sufficient or a definite process needs to be there for documentation of
consent.
I would suggest that the emails in the private lists be free to publish
without any requirement of permission but obligatorily with the real names
masked following the process mentioned above. Perhaps a on-wiki consensus
in needed on this.
Please feel free to share this email with the boards of which I am not a
member.

Diptanshu

Hello again everyone,
A board member raised concern about posting board emails to the online
wiki discussion. These have since been removed from the current page, and I
think the posting is excusable in this case due to the high concern of the
subject and that we haven't been fully clear about this before. So to
clarify, I've added the following to the "Confidentiality policies" under
the "Join" section of editorial boards (link to this section in WikiJMed
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Editorial_board#Join>
):
"You should generally ask for permission from the sender before posting
non-public board emails to a public location such as in this wiki or
forwarding to this journal's public email lists (wijoumed / wikijsci /
wikijhum @googlegroups.com and WikiJournal-en(a)lists.wikimedia.org)
Best regards,
Mikael
