Especially since those laws are not immutable, so even if we agreed in
principle that they were an appropriate baseline today, even by the time
today's interpretation was codified the legal understanding and/or the
regulations themselves are likely to have changed.

It must feel to the group like I and others are being difficult on this
issue but this is not a good foundation for an international standard.  Do
we maybe need to look at standard that provides a baseline level of privacy
protection and guidance/building blocks for registrars and other
constituents with stricter legal requirements?
