<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Greg raises a very important point. Lawyers serve different roles in different situations. Here, we should not be seeking a lawyer to serve as an advocate in this situation
for any member's goals, but an advisor to let us know whether certain options are well within a reasonable degree of business risk for the group, slightly more risky, or have a higher than the usual degree of business risk--all based on applicable law. We
need someone that has a lot of experience with various privacy laws in different jurisdictions specifically as it applies to the Internet. If we need recommendations, let me know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

us, is that we will not agree on what questions to ask. For those of us advocating the public policy goals of human rights and protection of data, it will hardly be satisfactory to hire a "privacy goalie" who will be trying to find ways to deflect implementing
more stringent data protection. We have different goals here. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
