Hi James, Would the person who sent you this feedback like to provide some suggested text instead? I quite like the statement as it stands today on the Etherpad, but if someone would like to see paragraphs two and three worded differently, I would be happy to read and to consider a revised statement incorporating the answer they would like to see. Best wishes, Ayden On Sat, Jul 23, 2016 5:32 PM, James Gannon james@cyberinvasion.net wrote: Hi all, 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. Can someone who has been holding the pen actively try and work this feedback into the current statement? -James
