I am opposed to posting information on living persons for privacy. However, Identity Theft as a reason just shows that banks, credit cards, etc. are too lax in their security.

This motion would have required the USGW Archives-TX to remove data on living individuals. (They have thousands of birth records online even for children). I now ask the GAGenWeb leadership to allow the formation of an official committee to construct a Privacy Policy for GAGenWeb sites. This policy would (hopefully) pioneer a mindset within USGenWeb that we are genealogists who help others research their ancestors, not living individuals, and also that USGenWeb SHOULD be taking the lead in promoting online privacy in genealogical circles. I volunteer myself for this committee as I am a Privacy Rights Clearinghouse contact on the subject of Identity Theft/Internet. Let's please take the lead on this issue. GAGenWeb has been professionally and aptly operated for almost a year now and I feel it's time we break out and show others we can lead where necessary. --Keith >>
