AO: This is a digitized copy of the signature pages of the informed consent reviewed by participants in the group discussion # 191029_001. Two of the participants wished to be anonymous while the four others expressed and confirmed desires to be named both verbally and on the consent form. Unlike in this case where I made the determination to redact the name since naming the individual would mean that the research organization could quickly be identified and those who wished to be anonymous within the organization potentially could also be more easily identified, in this case I did not perceive any additional risk to the other participants who were all from different organizations nor did I sense any increased risk to the individuals themselves and thus complied with their stated desires to be named.
