[rpd] Policy supremacy

[Tshepo Masuku]

Hi Ben,

Introductions can provide context, but they should not become a test of whether someone is a “genuine” community member.

An open process cannot presume that familiar participants belong while newcomers must prove themselves. If affiliation disclosure is important, it should be a clear and equal rule covering everyone, including employers, clients, funding, and organisational interests.

Until such a rule exists, contributions should be judged by their substance and conduct, not by whether the established circle recognises the sender.

Regards,
Tshepo
