Andrew that I at least have a technical expertise gap, not so
much a public policy and legal gap. I would also add that the
risk in hiring legal counsel to advise 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. <br>

<pre wrap="">While I am by no means opposed to that suggestion, I worry about two
issues: (1) that it'll blow such budget as we maybe have and (2) that
once we do this we ought also to engage (formally) technical expertise
and so on. Without wishing to impugn anyone, I will confess that in
this group gaps in legal knowledge are way less obvious to me than
gaps in technical knowledge. This is doubtless because of my own
background, and not the relative desity of knowledge gaps.
Best regards,
