RE: Issue 24 - Consensus

David,

The initial language already provides for that perspective (paragraph 1).  We already call out the concepts of data minimization (don't collect/retain all data all the time) and data proportionality for all Permitted Uses.  The additional language I'm asking to be removed is wasteful in that context, overemphasizes a dimension of minimization that won't be used much in reality, and is redundant to the concepts already asked to be employed for all Permitted Uses, and unneedfully makes the document longer and more difficult to read.

Hi Shane

I think some of your concerns relate to 'tipping off' the suspect that they may be being watched, but of course, increased logging doesn't do that.

The general principle "don't collect all the data all the time" seems pretty relevant, and as a recommendation, not terribly harmful. Basically, if you can justify what and why you are collecting, the spec says 'ok'.
