Is it me or are there a disproportionate amount of legal/government/military/ types on this list? Keeping this in mind, do you really think any of our comments will go anywhere but in the old circular file?
Disagree. Looks balanced or perhaps even weighted toward good guys to me. I haven't met many of them, but certainly Marty Hellman, Peter Neumann, and Willis Ware are on the Good Guys side. Willis (a colleague here at RAND) is carefully neutral on the political stuff, but is strongly pro-privacy. I assume Sam Fuller is the guy who was on my thesis committee back at C-MU 20 years ago, and he was sensible and non-political then. Another half dozen of them appear from credentials to be business and academic. Very few appear to be obvious government types. Jim Gillogly 2 Winterfilth S.R. 1994, 18:44
