I have spoken with Harv Schubothe, the president of OBA, and he would prefer to
just have a link to the eBird site like Greg Haworth suggested. This would put
the onus of eBird reviewer updates on the eBird team. FYI, the link that Greg
provided (thanks Greg) shows only names and emails.

All reviewers and their area(s) of review privileges are already publicly
available. I am in complete support of this information being publicly
available and support that part of Russ' initial sentiment.
Go to this page (eBird Review standards) ,at the bottom of the page is a link
to a PDF (eBird_Review_Tool_and_Filter_Instructions_28Jan2015.pdf),
and on pg 5 of the pdf you will find a link to a google doc where all
reviewers and their area(s) of review privileges are specified. Here is
that link; Reviewers
Matt, since eBird Central published and maintains this list the answers to
your questions are but an email away. Although i'm sure Brian will chime in as
he is a member of this list as well.
So what's the point in duplication?
Personally, I really don't want to be associated with the OFO, so i would
appreciate keeping my name off of it's website. I volunteer my time to the
Cornell eBird project and do not want to be co-opted by the OFO. In this, i do
not support the second part of Russ' sentiment, to post reviewer information
directly to the OFO website. Perhaps you could just put up a link to the
existing document instead.
For the sake of transparency, just so you folks know, i consider Joel as a very
dear friend.

The OBA website already has names and email of OBA board members and past
presidents. I don't think these folks have been contacted by any spammers, etc.
I agree that an email is sufficient. No phone numbers.

I'm okay having my name and email published, although if there is some way to
prevent advertisers, scammers, or marketers from harvesting my information I'd
appreciate it.

Russ, I agree. Doug, Joel already knows you are the reviewer for Benton
County, so nothing is gained by keeping the list off OBOL.

I don't mind either except I will get slaughtered by Joel Geier. But what else
is new?

Sounds good to me. W/emails? Probably not phone #s.
I'm interested to know if Brian or others have seen such public listings before
and if it is beneficial, any problems, etc. In any case it's fine w/me to have
my name and email on such a list.

Hey all,
I think we should make the eBird reviewer list public on the OBA website. Any
thoughts?
