[Cz-editcouncil] Require editor addresses?

[Anthony Sebastian]

Larry:

I would endorse a generally acceptable methodology for 'individual inter-editor contactability'.  One can always contact an editor by posting to the editor's Talk page, so we already have an open method for inter-editor communication.  I suppose sometimes an editor may wish private communication with another editor.  Doesn't the forum provide for that, or does it require using email addresses?

  Dear All,

  Here is another perhaps small matter that I would like to alert the
  Editorial Council to, and give you the option of voting.

  An editor approached me saying he wants to contact other editors in his
  area, only to discover that several of them aren't contactable.  He makes
  the argument that being a CZ editor must contain some minimal obligations to
  communicate--being contactable is one of them.  I am inclined to agree.
  Note, this DOES NOT mean that you have to give out your e-mail address, only
  that you remain open to *receiving* e-mail generated by a Web form.

  So I am inclined to make this into a policy.  But would any editor like to
  call for a vote on the matter?  I could imagine someone thinking that there
  is an important privacy issue here, but if no one does, we'll just go ahead
  and make it a policy.

  The Chair
