Hi Esther, I think I had heard of this initiative, but only now I realize how it could be of good use for my project. I work on OONI an internet censorship measurement platform. Recently on our mailing list and on IRC we have had some discussions about the ethics of measurement and how to better informs users of they risks they may face when using our software. You can read more about this discussion here: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/ooni-dev/2014-December/000205.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/ooni-dev/2014-December/000206.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/ooni-dev/2014-December/000207.html Recently a volunteer has suggested some ways to improve our warning text and you can see that here: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/ooni-dev/2015-January/000208.html In there there are some question marks that would require some legal feedback. Is this something you or somebody from your team would be available to take a look at? We would also like in general to be able a go to person for legal support in the country of one of our users. I think it would be great if we could add to the legal disclaimer that for some set of countries we know who these legal help people are and that users should promptly contact us and we shall direct them to them. Any feedback and further advice would be great. Thanks! ~ Arturo On 1/5/15 3:29 PM, Esther Lim wrote:
Dear OTF Project,
Happiest of Happy New Year.
I am Esther, the newest addition to the OTF team and the current lead for the OTF Legal Lab. I very much look forward to working with all of you one way or another.
We are looking to restructure, revamp, and remake the Legal Lab to better suit your needs. But first, we need to know what might be helpful.
To remind you, the Legal Lab has mostly served as an aggregating point and a mediator between various Legal Clinics and our projects. We aim to continue that aspect, but plan to expand in other ways.
Please share your thoughts! You can find the Legal Lab Survey Here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1njfBDX23lXTu_alKcixD539YrTEQ79xkYgGVJ-VgBAw/viewform?usp=send_form>
Thanks in advance,
