This is very reasonable (sorry for the fine members of the Provreg
group but last-minute attempts to solve a problem as large as the
privacy policies in a few lines of patch to the I-D are quite
laughable).
Excellent point, I could not agree more ... IMHO all of this goes to the much larger issue of privacy policy across all IETF protocols and that is something that is clearly outside the scope of PROVREG.

IMHO the IESG should withdraw the privacy requirement for EPP and allow the existing documents to go forward to PS until such time as the IETF community can get some clear architectural direction and consensus on where we want go.

Frankly all of the proposed solutions to the privacy requirement have a strong smell of duct tape, bailing wire and used chewing gum. Yes these things can work but its not a particularly good archichecture in the long term

Some of you may remember that I stood up at the plenary in Atlanta and asked the IESG specifically about where IETF is going with privacy issues and I believe it was Steve Bellovin who mentioned that there was ongoing work in this area but it was not ready yet.

Well I submit its time ..or at the very least I would suggest that there is consensus for a BOF in SF on "Where is the IETF going with Privacy issues?"


But such a group already exists: W3C's P3P group. P3P can be used for
more than Web sites and they are willing to do what it needs to extend
their framework to registry privacy policies.

well that said I'm not sure about timetables... I've personally attended the workshop that W3C had on the future of P3P and given the time it took to get the highly limited and constrained P3P 1.0 out I don't hold out much hope they can be relied on here if timing is a issue. You can all read their final report ..

Dear colleagues,

I'm happy to announce that the summary report on the Future of P3P Workshop
is now available at:

http://www.w3.org/2002/12/18-p3p-workshop-report.html

On behalf of Lorrie & myself, thanks to all of you for your thoughtful
participation and for preparing the action plans for future work. Those
plans are now all linked from the end of the workshop report. The P3P
Coordination Group will be looking in detail those and propose to this
mailing list draft charter(s) for future P3P work. Any new work will
ultimately have to be review by the W3C Advisory Committee, but I believe
that we should use this mailing list of workshop participants to develop the
proposals together.

The workshop report is publicly accessible so feel free to pass along the
URL to others who may be interested.

Best for a Happy New Year,

Danny Weitzner
