Re: [meetings] Agenda Request - Should PATCG be opinionated on which technologies are used to enable privacy? (#39)

I think the original question posed in this issue, should PATCG be opinionated on technologies, is really important for us to address as is the first identified discussion item: aligning on our high level privacy and security goals. 

In my opinion, discussion of foundational topics like these should happen independent of, and ideally before, discussion about specific implementations. I'm not suggesting that we come to final agreement, but that we have general consensus regarding them so that as we explore potential implementations we have a pretty good idea of what they need to support. I find reasoning about what we are trying to accomplish becomes much more complex in the context of discussion about how it is done and talking about how is much harder if we haven't settled on what.

So, I'd like to suggest we take up separately the questions:

- Should PATCG be opinionated on technologies? (My opinion: we should focus on protocols that support various technologies rather than coupling ourselves to anything specific).
- What are our high-level privacy and security (and I'd add verifiability) goals and requirement?
