The analogy coming from those arguing for the privacy policy has been, in part, "The IETF should have a privacy policy because N has one," where N is some non-IETF organization. One of them seems to be ISOC, although the policy itself is reputedly partly taken from that of the CDT. I believe John Levine's point, up-thread, was that differences in the way the IETF operates, as compared to those other organizations (for all N, that is), are entirely relevant to whether the IETF needs a privacy policy. I am not personally convinced that another policy is a good idea, especially if it has no practical consequences; though I'm not willing just now to say that I think it's a bad idea. I'd just like clearer arguments as justifications. One thing that would help me a lot is for those justifications to be part of an introduction in the I-D.
