Indeed. Do we agree that this means we're done?
I'm not opposed to the IETF having a privacy policy separate from ISOC's; I'm
also not opposed to simply using ISOC's. Whatever we use, I think we should
agree to it.
What I don't understand is the amount of arm wrestling that happens on this
list. If I were to assert that the sky was blue, someone would want to know the
frequency of the color, and someone else would report that the sky as s/he
observed it was grey. The discussion would last for weeks, with the person who
observed that it was grey periodically reporting a change in status.
I think we are done if we have agreed on a privacy policy. That could mean that
we have agreed that there is no policy (and were willing to, as a result, stop
screaming about the privacy implications of every little thing that cropped up;
we have RFCs that have arisen from such rants), agreed to use ISOC's policy
(see http://www.isoc.org/help/privacy/), have agreed to the one Alissa has
proposed, or have agreed to something else. At this point, I'm not sure we
agree on anything in particular.
I read Alissa's proposal. I might have a few nit points, and back when the
thread was about that proposal I thought some others had interesting points. On
the whole, it is a privacy policy I could subscribe to, and those points might
improve it.
