SV: [Privsec] Privacy will be discussed at Internet Governance Forum

[Robin Gross]

You are right, Rikke.  Several govt's and business were against any 
discussion of privacy at all.  Towards the end of the day it was taken 
out of the "security" basket and existed no where else.  I had to argue 
hard to get that phrase "while respecting privacy" back into the topic 
at all.  And it isn't for sure that it will be there in the final 
"security" formulation.  It was controversial, so now Kofi Annan is 
supposed to pick between the "security" sub-topics and the issue of 
privacy may not even be there at all.  "Security" might just focus on 
spam, virus, phishing.  Its in the Secretary-General's hands now.
