Summary

Photos: https://orga.sha2017.org/index.php/Discussion_results

Recurring comments, in my opinion, were the following:

  • everyone is welcome to the help with the camp, given disclosure of possible conflict
  • limited government involvement in core orga, team Content and projetleiding
  • good relationship with government agencies can be beneficial (permits, orga skills)

Threats, minus points

  • the high risk teams shouldn't have people from law enforcement,

intelligence etc., divided about other teams and government

  • losing volunteers <-> impact unknown
  • conflicting loyalty
  • influence, sabotage, self-censorship
  • alienation of anarchists
  • *appearance* of conflict of interest
  • might give signal even if unintended
  • people afraid of them (mistrust)
  • community (OHM Foxit)
  • dangers, if any, exist only in team Content and Projectleiding
  • concentrated power
  • discussions
  • Should it open "government"?
  • Show stopper: people working in prosecuting areas, like police etc. in key position in the orga that requires sensitive information
  • government in team content
  • allow cops on the field

Opportunity, plus side

  • proxy, nice for permits, communication towards government
  • getting things done faster involving gov
  • showing non-discrimination opportunities
  • utilizing available resources
  • goodwill
  • showing that we are not "shady"
  • hacker-ambassadorship in you
  • representation of all people/ non-discrimination / being open
  • opening comms to gov, having ambassadors
  • freedom of assembly
  • public services
  • more orga
  • government organisational qualities and refenrences can benefit orga
  • government volunteers have to suddenly quit if their superiors don't agree with their activities
  • people in NL or other governments who can prosecute, arrest, are security service, are not allowed in core orga. Anyone else: disclose profession, possible conflicts of interest on your team

Other

  • no government is (Leads) core orga
  • never trust authority
  • Endless discussion might be a show stopper
  • different conflicts of interest apply to different roles, government is not a good summary
  • orga members should disclose conflicts of interest; teamleads/sanity liasons keep track of team members
  • this needs more discussion
  • hacker doesn't mean criminal
  • be transparent
  • no criminals
  • no those with history of directly sabotaging hackers
  • less than 50% of one team should be from government or any other organisation
  • minimize government envolvement, police presence on site (scares people)
  • consensus in large group is impossible
  • no village for gov related elements
  • no gov or policy makers in orga
  • projectleiding decides, allowed to change their minds when new circumstances or concerns present themselves
  • government is not the right category-of-threats we should worry about (Figure: small overlap gov and threat)
  • the person needs to do it on their own time
  • everyone welcome to the event, but no ID checking and no recruiting
  • promote camp with joint interests, not common enemies
  • talks and presentations in exchange for money/permits
  • allowing organisations to use the camp for PR, which conflict with our goals
  • government is a stupid boundary to worry about
  • everybody can be in orga and core
  • orga must have process for this to work
  • historic opponents
  • some people shouldn't be in some positions
  • no AIUD, police, and the like, and also no Bayer, Monsanto etc. E corp; for the rest I am ok
  • no prosecuting instances in positions of trust, core orga (large)

and have a nice day :)
