[Community-Discuss] Share About Cloud Innovation Ltd and their business

[Meriem Dayday]

Hello,

This is a direct violation of the CoC.

Disclosing such information and data without the company’s consent is a
clear attempt of defamation and can have legal consequences on the
concerned person.

Having a business or other relationship with the said company does not give
you the right to divulge such details on a public mailing list. That is
quite appalling.

Please refrain from violating the CoC and attacking entities in such
manner. It can only be troublesome.

I am urging the PDWG chairs to act immediately by sanctioning the sender
and deleting this delicate email from the list.


Best,
