<br>
Based on the discussion we just had in the policy meeting, I share here <br>
a draft statement:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZdeCneOyDTnwLEebU1wVhkBqSBz37REBFeh6FAEOVTI/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZdeCneOyDTnwLEebU1wVhkBqSBz37REBFeh6FAEOVTI/edit?usp=sharing</a><br>
<br>
My drafting muscle is a bit rusty, but these two pages could perhaps be <br>
a good skeleton.<br>
<br>
The main tone and message is asking why ISOC, PIR, and Digital Identity <br>
did what they did and what process they followed, especially taking into <br>
account the public interest commitments they have made in the past.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Niels<br>
