I should be assuming that everyone else has already thought of this, but ...

Now that we're in the run up to the London IETF, if some of you

Any takers for trying to organise that?


Doing reviews for attention to PM is really an experimental activity. We don't have a track record of those specific types of reviews and I believe we are some distance away from having a shared, usable model of what to review for.

But we do need to develop it.

So I think what you are proposing actually ought to be its own development project, with the goal of producing a document in the realm of "Guidelines for doing Pervasive Monitoring Reviews of IETF Specifications."

Dave's suggestion is likely a great second-wave suggestion.

I took Stephen's suggestion and offer of a room as a great first-wave suggestion, and I had assumed that we weren't talking about reviewing all 7000-odd existing RFCs, but that people likely have a few widely deployed protocols in mind where they're already worrying about privacy aspects, reviewing widely deployed protocols that people are already worried about would be useful on its own, and might very well be the basis for developing guidelines that Dave is suggesting.

So, the worriers would self-organize in London as a first step.

If I got that wrong, my bad, and I'll go annoy people about transport issues, of course :-)
