Re: [FRC Blog] Frank Answers Fridays: August 15, 2014

I thought Nate asked a good question, it was open ended, and the answer was pretty decent. We learned that it was a pretty good cross section of FIRST. It was not driven by lawyers. They looked at other groups and used a pretty good benchmark to start their policy from. So we gathered lots of information, and we have a new person, Lee Doucette, Youth Protection Program Manager, to thank about adding to the FIRST transparency that Frank has started. So all in all it was a good FAF! (Bonus for the markup on the header)

In the doc there is this statement:
Quote:
The Committee utilized the Center for Disease Control’s publication “Preventing Child Sexual Abuse Within Youth-Serving Organizations: Getting Started on Policies and Procedures” as a guide. Members of the Committee also consulted with other youth serving organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4H, Boys and Girls Clubs, Little League, Catholic Church, and Big Brother, Big Sisters, who were generous with their time and information.
So someone needs to post the questions "Based on the organizations you used for your benchmarks why is the data subject to an opt-in or opt-out policy? Why is the default "opt-in"? Can you explain the process, policies and procedures that will be followed to keep our mentor data secure. "

Ok, so that's 3 questions.
