Prevent cockups.
Too much time is spent discussing these issues over and over again.
Remember that RFID experiment and how the IETF list blew up with
privacy discussion?
I'd love to have a privacy policy done, so that next time the poor
fools won't accidentally cause another of those threads. (God, it
must suck to want to run an experiment and run into one of those
threads.)
Oh, I don't know about that - it seems to me that the experimenters
would get the equivalent of 6 months of high profile discussion and
criticism from the likes of Slashdot, Techcrunch and the Register in a
few weeks, and without requiring an expensive product launch. True, if
the experiment was purely technical that would be a pain, but if the
experimenters had commercial intents I think that that would be pretty
valuable.
