Hi Dean,
you may want to look at the following two documents:
1) "The Role of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in Improving Privacy
on the Internet"
http://www.w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws/papers/privacy-ws-32.pdf
by Jon Peterson, Neustar; Hannes Tschofenig, Nokia Siemens Networks; Bernard
Aboba, Microsoft and Karen Sollins, MIT
2) "Privacy Considerations for Internet Protocols: Bringing Privacy to the IETF"
http://www.tschofenig.priv.at/svn/dagstuhl-privacy/ietf-privacy-overview.pdf
by Hannes Tschofenig, Bernard Aboba, Jon Peterson
These two documents contain several references, including pointers to
* the recent IAB/W3C/ISOC/MIT workshop on Internet privacy:
http://www.iab.org/about/workshops/privacy/
* Privacy Considerations for Internet Protocols
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-morris-privacy-considerations-02
* Policy Considerations for Internet Protocols
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-morris-policy-cons-00
* Terminology for Talking about Privacy by Data Minimization: Anonymity,
Unlinkability, Undetectability, Unobservability, Pseudonymity, and Identity
Management
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hansen-privacy-terminology-01
When you read through these documents then you will find out that
* "privacy" is a fairly complex topic,
* privacy has been addressed in IETF protocols in various degrees, and
* there is work ongoing to consider privacy in a more systematic way in the
IETF.
Ciao
Hannes
