(Wearing no IETF hat, but perhaps the hat of someone interested in privacy...) I do not believe that it makes sense for us to talk as if privacy was a concept that applies to corporate entities. I do believe that your text above conflates privacy (a human concept) with corporate secrecy (a useful but different thing) in ways that are in the end damaging to both. (I further and even moreso believe that such conflation would be damaging to the IETF were we to slip into the bad practice of not calling out that terminological sloppiness.) I totally get that redaction has utility for folks who need corporate secrecy on a temporary basis. I absolutely do not accept that that has any privacy aspect. Can you call out the privacy aspect that applies to humans and that is a real part of the question related to support for redaction in CT?
