I have received some offline feedback on the current statement, many feel its good and I received the following feedback

The first paragraph seems fine to me but the next two paragraph seem to get into deliberation.  I don’t personally disagree with the statements made but it seems to me that assumptions about future WG decisions on requirements should be avoided. For example:  “An important aspect of safety on the Internet has been a reasonable assumption of privacy.”  The third paragraph also seems to assume requirements that we have not yet agreed on.

 

It may be that the 2^nd & 3^rd paragraphs could be worded more as problem statements instead of assumptions of fact.
