John, Pete, I think you’re diving deep into the details of one particular aspect of this problem. That’s fine, but I wanted to point out that the overall issues are broader. Even on the aspect of creating pushback for authorities generating unnecessary subpoenas, there are multiple approaches, document distribution within the leadership is just one way. And then there are other issues, worrying about the privacy of the people mentioned in any subpoena, re-examining if we could tune what information we retain at the IETF, rewriting the algorithm on what our staff should do automatically and when they need to alert the leadership, looking at what other organisations have done in these kinds of situations, and so on. FWIW, I think we at the legal committee and leadership want to be on listening and learning mode about this issue for a while before jumping into specific ways to address the issues. Keep those thoughts coming! Jari
