But, even if the outcome wasn't a BCP along the lines
I'd prefer, I think such a beast would still be worth
having if it meant we could avoid a whole lot of these
kinds of similar discussions on individual drafts.
That was exactly what I was thinking.
I think the security analogy is a combination of BCP 61 (RFC
3365) and RFC 1984. That is a quibble but relates to the
question of whether draft-iab-privacy-considerations is
sufficient. I think it is necessary, but not sufficient. The
other piece would be a fairly clear and ideally consensus,
statement about what we do and do not intend to do and why.
IMO, the only want to make progress on avoiding these similar
discussions on individual drafts would be to develop such a
consensus and focus the discussions on it.
