Hey,
If I have not missed anything, you, Ana, have taken over the signature management of the petition from Alessandro. In case I have missed anything, I am sending it to both of you and also to the list. I have couple of issues I would like to discuss.
1) Ana, I have noticed that you have added quite a few individual signatures. However, from the signature requests submitted, I think that one or two organisations have also wished to be added. In such a case the proper thing to do would be to contact the signature submitter, and confirm whether the signer would like to sign individually, for the organisation, or both. Right, Alessandro? Cc-ing the mails to the list would also be a good idea. Also, in case of organisational signatures I would make a point of asking what position the person holds in the organisation, id est whether the person actually has the authority to sign for the organisation. (Since at least one of the organisations I saw was a school in Estonia, and it struck me as a bit odd. They do not seem to be in the list yet, fortunately.)
2) Occasionally I have discovered quite a few duplicates in the signature list. E.g., 3 Holger Dyroffs. Now, I cannot say they are all duplicates, but it seems quite likely to me. First, let us try to avoid adding duplicate signatures. Furthermore, any ideas on improving the signature list in a way where we could distinguish between two persons with the same name and duplicate entries? Should we update the format and also store the e-mail address internally? All suggestions are welcome on this point.
Cheers,
