Re: IETF privacy policy - update

Sam,

I view this more or less as "standard boilerplate", something you find 
in a lot of "online places". I think it is reasonable to expect that 
if you register for a meeting your personal info (e-mail address 
mostly) won't be sold/used/harvested by someone for purposes other 
than what you think you signed up for. It's probably useful for us to 
have such a statement.
