Hi Hannes Klaas' s post reflects my view on what the IETF cannot do. It does not define what is or is not personal data.
To answer as my view as to what the IETF can do. I believe the IETF can explain to the technical audience the potential privacy implications of choices they make. It can provide background and guidance as to the ecosystem that our work will need to be deployed into. It can ensure that those working in the IETF have the resources to understand both the terminology and the issues of privacy as it pertains to our work. The Internet is now in integral part of the economies and culture of the world. That integration is only going to continue as ubiquitous computing occurs in all aspects of life. The IETF can assist in making our work deployable in the wider societal construct in which it must exist. Does that help? It seems a little verbose to me but I think it provides the answer and the context.
