Re: [perpass] into the legal arena

[Robin Wilton <[e-mail]>]

I think it looks well-intentioned, but from the interview, it also seems worryingly clear that the political sponsor has little or no understanding of the technicalities - and not just from a techie point of view. His 'description' of what this looks like from an end-user point of view doesn't fill me with confidence. So, I worry that legislation will evolve on the basis of a very shaky foundation, in terms of clarity of requirements, achievable/measurable outcomes etc.
