[Wp4] Board comments on Annex 6

Or actually, the right question is "what is it about a commitment to
transparency that threatens the functioning of the network 365/24/7?"  I
can't honestly see an answer to that.  In other words, the burden is on the
the Board not us ...

Sorry ... I'm sure you don't agree Paul -- but if you believe in the
bottom-up process that's the way the system should work

Actually, I think it is for the WG and the Board to tell us what human
rights they'd like the possibility to infringe, and why.

(George Bush wasn't able to do that in 2002 when he withdrew the United
States from the International Criminal Court since he couldn't foretell than
an Abu Ghr'aib might happen.  Oh no.)

equivalent to whatever gives them the least amount of constraint and the
greatest amount of obscured power.
