I recently noticed RFC 5111 which describes an Exploratory Group, sort
of half way between a WG and a RG. This seems like a good fit.
Here's why it isn't:
The distance between the current state of the community and the
ability to start a productive working group is not merely the matter of
clarifying a few issues.
The community has no overall sense of privacy protection, nor
efficacy of choices, nor... well, many things.
Absent a basic, systems-approach to guide community effort, for
doing anything but the most blindingly obvious steps for protection, the
community will be executing a random walk through a very complex face.
This will essentially guarantee spending quite a lot of time and
money on an effort that will have little benefit.
