I'm not familiar with SF-86 or OPM.
SF-86 is the name of the form that US intelligence community members fill out during their vetting process for access to classified information. china stole all of these documents from the US via a hack of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) who actually administers the background checks and clearance process for the intelligence community. thus, if someone published the SF-86 database, we could make sure no spooks are working under cover on open source projects (presumably in bad faith). best regards,
would allow for open source projects working on privacy enhancing technologies to avoid potential conflicts of interest or subterfuge from contributors.
You're saying that if we supported your request (maybe by showing it is important and making that very public), it would basically protect from severe disruption in a way generalizeable to all open source efforts?
still waiting on that dump, of course :)
best regards,
