Title: Privacy Best Practices: A Community, Legal, and Security Perspective

Speakers:

Aki Nakanishi

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I serve as a privacy program manager at the Wikimedia Foundation. I've spent the last ~7 years dedicated to building privacy programs in various spaces across tech and non-profit sectors. I believe that strong privacy and security standards and practices are the cornerstone of trust for the communities that we serve and work with. I look forward to meeting everyone at Wikimania!

Ellen Magallanes

Ellen Magallanes a dual-qualified US-Australian attorney, Secretary at the Internet Law and Policy Foundry, and Senior Counsel at the Wikimedia Foundation. Privacy law, like all the best rabbit holes, was something she fell into and never looked back. Now she furthers her interest in privacy with tech law advocacy in both of her homes: Australia and the US. She is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Scott Thomson

Originally from Australia but now living in Brazil I have spent the last 20 odd years working as a taxonomist and evolutionary biologist specialising in the systematics and nomenclature of Australasian and South American Turtles. I have described 7 species of turtle, 5 living and 2 fossil, as well as three genus group names. I have been editing on Wikimedia projects since 2006, initially starting with the English Wikipedia before moving to Wikispecies as my home wiki. I also edit on the Pt Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons. I became a CheckUser and Beaurocrat on Wikispecies in 2017 and developed the CheckUser Local Policy there. In 2021 I became a member of the Ombuds Commission and since 2022 have been the Chair. As Chair it is my responsibility to organise the OC to ensure we get our cases done and to communicate where we can with the Commmunity and with our Liaison from WMF and T&S. I have a keen interest in Internet Privacy and people do have the right on a platform such as Wikimedia to work under a pseudonym, username, without their private details becomming public. In some countries this is even dangerous information for people.
