The IESG often states that it is not difficult to bring an RFC to publication.

In any event, what makes this document more urgent, and in need of less scrutiny and processing, that any other potential RFC?

Personally, I would expect a document that attends to explicitly and complexly legal concerns to need /more/ scrutiny than an entry-level technical specification, not less.


I don't see why this couldn't be divided in the way that the Trust Legal
Provisions have been :

- a RFC to set the _goals_ and basic framework of the privacy policy, which
might change something like every 5 years (or less often if we are lucky) and

You expect the privacy policy, itself, to change more frequently than this?

Also, the implication of your suggestion is that we would have a goals and framework document /after/ we have actual policies. This seems a bit, ummmm, backward. It would make more sense to have the two in one document, absent some expectation of one being more stable than the other.


- an IAOC document for the actual privacy policy itself, which could be changed
very quickly if (say) lawyers started beating down the doors.

if?  so we really don't have an urgent requirement?
