A point we are trying to make in ICANN that should perhaps be made to the RIR level.

When you talk to LEA you get only half of a government's story.  You also have to talk to the Privacy Officers and Data Retentions officers too.

I suggest that whenever one talks to an LEA that LEA office should be handcuffed to a government Policy Officer so you know you are getting the complete story.

As for Civil society participation, yes we should participate more, but whenever it is civil society on privacy vs. LEA on security, LEA trumps the privacy nuts in the eyes of decision makers. Hence my insistence that you need to work hard to get the privacy officials on the room every time you talk to LEA.

Just a thought
