From: Timothy C. May Putting Microsoft's feet to the fire, getting them to commit to *not* including any form of software-based key escrow in any future releases of Windows (Chicago or Daytona) could be a concrete step in the right direction. Ditto for Apple. ................................................
Does anybody have any experience doing stockholder resolutions? Even though they seldom pass, they are one way of pressuring a company to do things, and if well written can have a big impact (e.g. a resolution that Microsoft/AT&T/Apple/Network23 "never compromise the privacy of their customers data by using key escrow" puts management in a position of either supporting the resolution (yay!) or saying "no, sometimes we're willing to compromise our customer's privacy", followed by weasel words about how it's Good For America and therefore Good For General Motors or whatever. Thanks; Bill
