as a european, i feel i have to be first to respond with:
"We're the government and we're here to help"....
having said that, there's some useful references in yr. document
for those of you out there in ietf land without brit TV access ,yo
umight be amused to track down the Mark Thomas Product's
expose of the CEC's rather dubious track record on public access to
information/policy
http://www.channel4.com/mark_thomas/
and compare it with some policies in the US and other places that any
valid/effective/non-pointless cybercrime policy must be consistent
with...
i suggest someone setup a web site or list to accumulate ALL responses that
people want to make public otherwise you may never see them again:-)
it would also be most encouraging if the CEC were to actually use some
sort of secure email for the opposite requirement (folks that want
their responses provably private)
