Prevent cockups.

Too much time is spent discussing these issues over and over again. 
Remember that RFID experiment and how the IETF list blew up with privacy 
discussion?

I'd love to have a privacy policy done, so that next time the poor fools 
won't accidentally cause another of those threads. (God, it must suck to 
want to run an experiment and run into one of those threads.)
