[rpd] Privacy breach of nomcom2015's Mailing List

[Noah]

Hi Sunday,

This was unfortunate however, we as the community are anxiously waiting for
an update on how far the investigation have gone seeing you indicated that
you would task the CEO to launch an investigation into the circumstances
the breach of privacy of the nomcom015 mailing-list.

It's our hope that the investigation have been launched and some progress
is being made towards pursuing the perpetrators.

Keep the community posted.............
