A few months ago I drew up a strawman proposal for a public-facing  
IETF privacy policy (http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-cooper-privacy-policy-00.txt 
). I've submitted an update based on feedback received: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-cooper-privacy-policy-01.txt

In discussing the policy with the IAOC and others, it seems clear that  
the RFC model is probably not the best model for maintaining and  
updating a document like this. It is more likely to fall within the  
scope of the IAOC and/or the Trust. In order for the IAOC to consider  
taking this on and devoting resources to figuring out what its format  
should be, they need to hear from the community that a public-facing  
privacy policy is something that the community wants. So I have two  
requests for those with any interest in this:

1) Respond on this list if you support the idea of the IETF having a  
privacy policy (a simple "+1" will do).

2) If you have comments and suggestions about the policy itself, send  
them to this list.


Thanks,
Alissa
