Hi all. Here is a link to an update sent to all contributors and admins of OSC regarding our Know Your Customer (KYC) policy and how we used (past tense) Persona.

Amazing response from @OpenSourceCollectiveOpen Source Collective (OSC). They are dropping Persona now! Your voice has power! Community pushback works!

Finally, we will halt the use of Persona for identity verification until we are able to implement the alternative arrangements described above.

Thank you to everyone in our community who shared their perspective. We hear you, and we are grateful to be a part of a community that cares so deeply about transparency and accountability. Openness is at the heart of everything we do.
