RE: HTML 5.1, Web Cryptography API

HTML Working Group,
Travis Leithead,

I've contacted a number of organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Duke University Center on Law, Ethics and National Security, the Duke University National Security Law Society, the George Washington University National Security Archives, and the Education Law Association requesting more information including about existing laws and principles which could be of use to our discussion here.

It is possible that the topics, concepts, and principles regarding militaries and public schools, education systems, in democracies, have been discussed by others before and potentially codified into a number of laws.  There may be existing laws which articulate the premises of the separation of our militaries and our public schools, our national security and homeland security apparatuses and our public schools, and foreign regulators and our public schools.  There may be existing laws which articulate those same premises with regard to education-related and education-technology processes.  Our group discussion could be an opportunity to achieve consensus with regard to pioneer principles of democratic forums or to affirm preexisting principles or laws in democratic societies.



Kind regards,

Adam Sobieski
