<p>Again, In a semi-futile effort to keep it simple. I see this now,
with the progress we have made, as: <br>

<li>The principle of Thin Data is that it is to be accessed "on an
anonymous and unrestrained basis" (we agree)</li>
<li>What data elements should be in, or out of, the Thin Data set?
(to do now)</li>
<li>Once the Thin Data set is determined, it will be labeled "the
Public Data" and accessible on an anonymous and unrestrained
basis (pretty much consensus this: Yes?/No?)</li>
</ul>
As I read it we should now be examining candidates for the Thin Data
set, evaluating candidates on a check list of considerations that we
may (or may not) wish to define at this point. <br>
Any other activity, other than examining candidates or constructing
a check list, reminds me of the Canadian radio show called "Running
off Madly in All Directions, later taken as the<br>
title of an Indian movie based loosely on the works of Canadian
writer (and McGill University Economics Prof) Stephen Leacock. This
rds-pdp-wg is more than a comedy troup!<br>
