 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."
