Sorry Christine - are you kidding me? I heard this song before (last time in October). Please understand: most requests on the table don't touch privacy issues at all. Privacy is about which data is collected and exchanged for which purpose on on which legal basis. We talking about ways to make the exchange of data between chapters and isoc.org less cumbersome and more secure - independent of the kind of data we exchange. So with all due respect - this is a flimsy excuse.

Best regards

Klaus

PS.: Respecting privacy is obviously not too high ranked on Internet Society's agenda. E.g.: in July 2019 I flagged up that the Internet Society Cookie banner does not provide an option to refuse consent (IMHO in conflict with our own principles and also not conforming to EU ruling). Meanwhile most orgs and enterprises in the world have adopted their banners to EU ruling. Not so the Internet Society. Instead people are referred to e.g. https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2018/01/lazy-persons-guide-better-online-privacy/ in the Cookie policy. Embarrassed?
