Why offline? The problem is here, online. If you read the thread below, if we are contacted ahead of time, we can arrange for names to be mentioned freely, but not added to discussion pages in a way that is detectable by search engines -- that way we don't compound the problem. (see )

What you suggested would leave it as a matter strictly between coordinators and the parties involved, reducing it to a plea vs. judgement call. However, everybody's interest is probably best served by our getting consensus -- we need to explore as many viewpoints about the subject as possible. It's best to keep these things transparent. These are questions which all ex-members should be looking into and finding answers to together. We are totally open to any suggestions on making life easier for people who wish to move on, but there is the question of accountability. This is a huge subject and not one we should handle entirely on our own.
