Cat has a very good point. I don't know that that prevents LOPSA from
advocating one thing in one country and something different in another
country. We could certainly limit ourselves to only advocating policy
changes that are appropriate for a given country...but that, too, runs
the risk of spreading LOPSA too thinly.
I wonder, though, if Cat's specific example of the handling of PII
also potentially puts our Code of Ethics in conflict with itself in
some countries:
