Simon,

I am fine with the changes.  The last is not a Gen-ART, but was put there for 
adding considerations to the security section.  I just meant that it should 
state that there may be privacy concerns with some of the information.  I 
listed the regulations to give examples, but not to have them entered into the 
document.  You mention the use of encryption for protection against spoofing, 
it would also be used for confidentiality in protecting privacy of the 
information.

Best regards,
Kathleen

I'm sorry, I disagree with that. IETF protocols should not be concerned 
with local regulations [RFC2804].

Thanks,
Simon
