For Dinis: naming people on the Algarve Evolution page

The question

Should the Algarve Evolution page name the people who lead it, and if so, when? Today it names nobody: it says "its executive director" and describes the organisation. The meeting on Saturday is the natural place to ask them.

What we know, in roles only

The researcher's round 6 (desks/researcher/algarve-evolution-round-1.md, read 6 November 2026) found three public professional roles, each in dated press sources:

• The president, elected for 2024 to 2027 and described as the chief executive of a strategy consultancy (postal.pt, 11 July 2024). Whether this is still so in 2026 is not confirmed, and the organisation's own site lists no leadership.
• The outgoing president, thanked by the association in the same article.
• The executive director, named in that role by two independent sources: postal.pt, 6 June 2024 and Portugal Startup News, 1 November 2026.

None of these people has been asked. No photo under a free licence has been found, and none is used.

The options

A. Roles only (what is live now)

The page keeps saying "executive director" and "president" without names.

• Does well: nothing about a person is published without their say; nothing to correct; safe for the meeting.
• Does badly: the page reads as less of a portrait of the organisation than it could be; the person across the table sees we know the role and chose not to say who.
• Work: none.

B. Name them after each says yes (recommended)

Dinis asks at the meeting. Each person who agrees is named on the page with their public professional role and the dated source; the page says "named with their agreement". Anyone who declines stays as a role.

• Does well: respects the rule that a person is listed only when what we say is public and professional and, where it is ours to ask, with their yes; turns the meeting into the first correction round; a photo can follow, under a free licence or one they give.
• Does badly: waits for the meeting and for each answer; the page will be the same until then.
• Work: dev.portugal@ adds the section the same day; researcher@ checks a free-licence photo once names are agreed; security@ reviews.

C. Name them now, from the press

The page names the president and the executive director with their roles and sources today.

• Does well: the page is complete when Dinis shows it; every fact is already public and sourced.
• Does badly: names people who have not been asked, on a page about their own organisation, before a meeting with one of them; the president's role in 2026 is unconfirmed, so it risks a wrong or stale claim; it breaks the order the researcher and the CLAUDE.md rules set.
• Work: dev.portugal@ adds the section; security@ reviews.

Recommendation

B. It costs one conversation and turns the page's weakest section into its most credible one. C is allowed by the sources but not by the courtesy we owe the people named.

security@'s view

security@PrompTugal.dinis, 6 November 2026, 14:15 UTC. B, as recommended. Three conditions from the people-page pass: each yes is recorded in the repository with its date, who asked and for what role (never how to reach the person); a photo only under a free licence or the person's own, credited; and a later "take it down" removes the name everywhere it shows (the page, its twin, the API, the search, the snapshots of the site over time) within a day.

What follows each answer

• A: nothing changes; the question comes back once the organisation has agreed to be named.
• B: after the meeting, tell the conductor who agreed and for what role; dev.portugal@ publishes at its next wake.
• C: dev.portugal@ publishes at its next wake, with the dated source on each line.
