Blanket orders remind me of Ben Franklin’s advocating “Those who would sacrifice freedom for temporary safety DESERVE NEITHER [Freedom nor Safety].” [Bolding mine.]

What would it take to set up the browser to eliminate the likes of NSA from knowing much from their spying on their fellow Americans. Please invite the People like EFF.org to the table as well.

Finally, Please also include in Firefox a button that provides encryption with a push of that button. Apparently a free society requires transparancy in Government and Extremely Strong ENCRYPTION for every day communications.

Thanks, In advance.

They are interested in patching the gaping holes in the google chromium browser. I might tell them myself but my Deutsch is none too good. Perhaps you have someone who reads and speaks German might be able to properly invite these security oriented folk to the table. Other people I would love to see include The Calomel.org folk and the Enigmail folk.

In such an approach there is an implied don’t-know-list or gray list. Due to the dynamics of the web, this implied gray-list is unlikely to vanish over time.
Because of this, policy should be in place to handle the gray-list in a consistent and accepted manner.
In the current proposal I find this important aspect is currently largely missing or at least underdeveloped.

In a technical sense the proposals are state-full. I would suggest to define initial state – the gray-list – from which to populate accept-lists and block-lists. I would also suggest to define default handlers for such a state. In a logical sense the state transition to accept or block are only two operations that may be validly performed on the initial state.
I foresee some real problems for the Advisory Board in defining this:
e.g:
Given the goals of the proposals the initial state should probably indicate blocking to at least certain level to be decided. Given that the fifth element (W3C on do-not-track) is not yet fully defined I fear there would be either double work or a premature definition.
In my opinion, the do-not-track filtering is probably the only mechanism that can perform a default filter on the gray-list with any kind of authority and is therefore essential to the proposal.
The presence or absence of the do-not-track indicator seems to be the only mechanism to perform default filtering with any kind of authority and this is not yet fully defined. The accept-list and block-list are in my opinion logically just derivatives of initial state. The default filter logically comes before them.
With this point I hope to demonstrate that there is a very high risk that the proposals are subject to the same frantic politics and debate as is the case with the do-not-track proposal in the first place. And that defeats at this moment in time the goals f the cookie clearing house.
