Security Council Declassification Tracker
In the interests of transparency and accountability, and to keep the public better informed as to the status of the ongoing Security Council declassification project, this thread will record all private SC records as they are released under Section 5.5 of the Legal Code. These records can be found in this subforum. This thread will also provide an up-to-date explanation of each type of redaction you may see in these records, as follows:
- [REDACTED - 5.5.27.1 RL information]
- What it's for: "Real-life information about any NationStates player from which there is a risk of inferring that player's real-life identity and which has not willingly been disclosed to the public, including, but not limited to, an individual's name, IP address, physical address or location, phone number, place of employment or education, appearance, social media accounts, and other knowledge about a player, unless the player in question provides explicit consent for this information not to be considered private."
- How it's justified: see above.
- An example: "Hi guys, I'll be your Delegate for the next 4 months. My nation's name is Fakelandia2, but you can call me John. I personally don't find Discord all that convenient for communicating, so please feel free to send me a text at (123) 456-7890 or message me on Facebook (John Smith). Unfortunately, I might not be all that active over the next few weeks, since I just changed jobs and will be working at Exxon HQ in Irving, Texas for the foreseeable future. It's going to be a bit of a commute, since I currently live at 12345 Fake Street over in Bluemound."
- [REDACTED - 5.5.27.2 RL information]
- What it's for: "Real-life information about any NationStates player for which there exists a reasonable real-life expectation of privacy or discretion, including, but not limited to, health status, both mental and physical; financial status; personal tragedies; changes in personal status such as marriage, divorce, pregnancy, birth, or death; and other similar information, unless the player in question provides explicit consent for this information not to be considered private."
- How it's justified: see above.
- An example: "Hi guys, sorry to break it to you, but my grandmother just passed away two days ago, so I'll be taking a leave of absence as we plan for her funeral."
- [REDACTED - 5.5.27.2 private information]
- What it's for: Personal information that skirts the line between 5.5.27.1 and 5.5.27.2, or that skirts the line between RL and non-RL.
- How it's justified: See (1) and (2). This adds a bit more nuance to RL-based redactions.
- An example: "I go to school in New Haven, Connecticut, and Fakelandia2 threatened to make that public against my wishes on numerous occasions in addition to actually doxing me once."
- [REDACTED - 5.5.27.3 diplomatic interest] / [REDACTED - 5.5.27.3 military interest] / [REDACTED - 5.5.27.3 regional interest] / [REDACTED - 5.5.27.3 security risk]
- What it's for: "Information that, upon being made public, would jeopardize any ongoing military or intelligence operations; or jeopardize the security of units and agents participating in them, or be harmful to the diplomatic interests, military interests, or security of The North Pacific." This includes privileged communications for which consent was not given to be reproduced publicly, information harmful to the aforementioned interests of TNP, and information which could jeopardize regional security if publicly released.
- How it's justified: See above.
- An example: "TFP Delegate Fakelandia2 just sent me this extremely concerning TG which the SC needs to see: [telegram content]."
- [REDACTED - 5.5.27.4 SC operations]
- What it's for: "Information that, upon being made public, would jeopardize Security Council operations in response to threats and attempted coups." This includes internal processes to handle coup threats, methods for identifying threats, and other information which would give potential threats an advantage in attempting to destabilize the region.
- How it's justified: See above.
- An example: "Given the results of [internal methodology], I have no choice but to believe that Fakelandia2 poses an extreme threat to regional security. I recommend [internal plan of action]. Otherwise, we could have [consequences] on our hands."
- [REDACTED - 5.5.27.5 unable to consent]
- What it's for: "Comments made by previous members of the Security Council who are not able to consent to their comments being made public." There's been some confusion regarding this in the past, so here's how it works: the VD contacts former SCers through any available channels. If said former SCers are not reachable (i.e., unable to consent), their comments are redacted. Former SCers can't just order all their comments to be redacted because they said so!
- How it's justified: See above.
- An example: Do you really need one?
