Sheesh, okay EBW, "no one suggested doing it - on our mailing list." ;) ;) (I'm joking. But, really, the implementation is news to me - it hasn't been mentioned in the group.) As for the answer to most of the other points, the reason why you (now = Joesph Reagle) might not be seeing the expected detail is that we as a group are at a loss in defining what privacy means to us. Given the scope of what we are accomplishing, a full determination of privacy is considered to be too much work within our venue. We are settling on some mechanisms that we can only hope (at this time) will support a sufficiently large realm of interested parties. I mention this because you ask about disputes, remedies, etc. Those are things definitely beyond what we can afford to consider in our problem space. PS - I should add that although a deeper discussion of privacy is somewhat beyond our (= IETF provreg WG) hopes given time and resources, questions on the topic are within scope. It just might take some time to answer them. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-703-227-9854 ARIN Research Engineer ...as rare as a fire at a sushi bar...
