Without wishing to weigh in on whether the privacy policy is a good
idea, I think that "living with" was an important part of John
Levine's argument up-thread. In many cases, the actual governing
organization that actually gets hold of the bit of PII isn't the IETF
at all. It's the privacy policy of _that_ organization that's going
to govern for real the treatment of the PII. This makes the analogy
between the IETF and other privacy-policy-having organizations weaker.
So if you think having a privacy policy is a good idea, and you think
so because other organizations have such a policy, you'll need to show
why the analogy between the IETF and other organizations is strong in
relevant ways.
I must admit that I am not following this. What organization are you
talking about ?
ISOC ? The IETF Trust ? Something else ?
Further, I can't see why the IETF can have a privacy policy or why
that would be
different from having a patent policy or, for that matter, a NOTE WELL.
