Without wishing to weigh in on whether the privacy policy is a good idea, I think that "living with" was an important part of John Levine's argument up-thread. In many cases, the actual governing organization that actually gets hold of the bit of PII isn't the IETF at all. It's the privacy policy of _that_ organization that's going to govern for real the treatment of the PII. This makes the analogy between the IETF and other privacy-policy-having organizations weaker. So if you think having a privacy policy is a good idea, and you think so because other organizations have such a policy, you'll need to show why the analogy between the IETF and other organizations is strong in relevant ways.
