It certainly resonates with me. While I'm interested in the technologies 
that PIC is bringing to the masses, I think the questions they raise are 
much more challenging. I'd be keen to contribute. Unfortunately the PIC 
conference call is well out of my timezone, so it will have to be done by 
e-mail.

I've read Clark's paper, (attached). The ideas are easy to articulate and 
the need for solutions is very compelling and urgent, not just in the IP 
domain - even the meanest lesser spotted cell-phone seems to have the 
potential to invade privacy in more and more ways. However, getting to them 
is going to be a long haul and we need to draw in a wide range of expertise.

Regards,

Alistair
