Accordingly I believe that the prevailing focus of "what can the IETF do to improve privacy" is misplaced. We should instead focus on "what can the IETF do to reduce the cost of privacy". If we make it cheaper, we will help providers (and their jurisdictions) to bid for the business where consumers want to discriminate between providers on that basis. Having the right regulatory environment will encourage that kind of discrimination, if it imposes penalties and provides incentives. There is a clear role for ISOC here, and I look forward to some substantive movement that goes beyond a press release that they are "alarmed" by these events. The IAB should be engaged at the next level down, considering how the policy and regulatory environment should map to the technical architecture. Josh.
