[Board] GPDR

[Cameron Shorter]

Ben,

I'm not sure about the legalities of GPDR, but I think that purging 
email archives is undesirable, impractical, and shouldn't be required.

OSGeo has always been clear that our email lists are public and can be 
archived (either publicly or privately). By posting to the list, people 
should have been aware that they are putting their details onto the 
public record.
