Excerpts from internet.cypherpunks: 5-Jul-96 Re: I confess [Was: Who was.. by Duncan Frissell@panix.co
JR offered an amendment which changed the language to refer to "so-called Key Escrow (actually government access to keys GAK)" and he also explained that "escrow" is where you place something with a trusted third party and the government is neither trusted nor a third party. He mentioned cypherpunks live on CSPAN.
Maybe when JR finished the Con he can post the original proposed language of the LPs plank and the final language as amended.
I was sitting not far from Jim when he offered the amendment; I remember it passing overwhelmingly. However, I don't think think the word "GAK" was in there -- just "government access to keys." The change to the platform, including Jim's amendment, passed unanimously. -Declan
