Thanks, Barry, excellent statement.

BUT: as you know, politics like buzzwords covering everything they like to do. Awareness Building is difficult. A major work for multistakeholder communities – like us.

Best, Erich

I read all that and agree but for many this brief thread between us was

probably TL;DR.

Executive Summary:

"Security" is one of those words like "freedom" or "justice" which we

throw many ideas under.

At best it's a complicated topic with many sub-topics.

At worst it's a cacophony of aspirations which are very difficult to

turn into coordinated efforts.

Improving security often entails difficult trade-offs between freedom,

control, privacy, overhead, and accountability.

Everyone wants the results, few want to pay the cost.
