Nick and Roger suggested that we figure out how to communicate to policy
people in their own language why we are reluctant to believe DNT will
actually accomplish anything productive, and therefore why we are
reluctant to endorse it.
I hold a slightly more extreme position: That DNT is actually likely to
introduce a regulatory sinkhole that we want no part of. In almost every
case, we should be developing end to end cryptographic strategies to
dealing with the issue of infrastructure trust and tracking.
We should spend the time to communicate these ideas to the DNT folks. To
quote Roger, "the more the policy people think they're solving the
problem, the less likely anybody is to solve the problem."
