Jeff and all,
Agreed! It should be noted that it doesn't seem that the ICANN
(Initial?) Interim Board is very concerned about privacy issues,
given the terms of their "Accreditation Policy" and the interesting
post from Ben Edelman you properly provided regarding the
methods that the Berkman Center is intending to inploy for purposes
of gathering data of course unknown to the participant for the
Santiago Conference....
I believe that William Walsh must have missed this point or as I stated
in my previous response to him, he doesn't understand clearly....
