Some members of this WG are arguing that the collection of and publication of thin data, even creation dates, is a problem, or should be gated or permissioned. Such arguments are inconsistent with legally vetted practices in front of us.
Since we are starting with a clean slate, whether or not something has been done or is currently being done is important information to have in a discussion, but it is not a compelling reason in and of itself to do it again or to continue doing it. It is appropriate rather than “inconsistent” to “argue” about its difficulty and whether or not access to it should be gated in any way. Jim
