Possibly fair point, but OTOH BCP10 and others consist of >1 RFC and work. For now at least, I'd concentrate on how to the get the new privacy-friendly stuff agreed, rather than worry too much as to how its represented in RFC(s). > A first step might be to talk to the authors > to see what they would like to do.

I would agree that the intarea is probably not a hotbed of privacy activists. But its also equally true that folks on that list are probably as clueful as here, and so may well have quite a good appreciation of how privacy is more important than previously. So I'd say give it a whirl if you've the energy to write an I-D and fwiw I'll try push forward with good work regardless of how its locally received in one or another IETF WG (no matter the relevant WG is an area-wg). But, equally, I'm not interested in helping with work on things that haven't even tried to be run by the best list of relevant/interested folks. I do get that that's not a very clear distinction (sorry:-) but I hope it helps, and regardless am happy to chat more, on and/or off list. Cheers, S. > > Regards, > S.
