Like most folks involved in this list, I have a personal response to the current situation and some thoughts on how it will impact my or our work in the future. Since I expect we will pretty short of mic time in Vancouver for thoughts like these, I decided to write them out. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hardie-perpass-touchstone-00 is the result. It's quite short but a quick summary is this: Pervasive monitoring induces self-censoring which harms the Internet and its users. At the scale of the modern Internet, that means it harms humanity. We can and should change our approach to Internet engineering and system design to deal with this. There will be costs for that, but we should pay them. It helps me, personally, to focus on a single user when asking whether a system or protocol is appropriate in the current environment. The draft lays out why. regards, Ted Hardie
