I wouldn't focus on government surveillance per se.  The IETF should
consider that breaking privacy is much easier than it used to be,
particularly given consolidation of services at all layers, and take
that into account in our engineering best practices.  Our mission is
to make the Internet better, and right now the Internet's weakness in
privacy is far from "better".  The mandatory security considerations
section should become security and privacy considerations.  The
privacy RFC should be expanded and worded more strongly than just nice
suggestions.  Perhaps the Nomcom should ask candidates about their
understanding of privacy considerations.
