Just to clarify regarding questions for the Earl of Northesk.

I see this meeting very much as me representing all you guys (and everyone else elsewhere who has concerns) so whereas I have my own questions I don't want them to dominate the meeting, I would rather everyone gets an opportunity to have their concerns addressed and I will add my most important questions to whatever time is left.

I would prefer it if people could give me their first and last name with their questions as I am going to ask Earl of Northesk for permission to record the meeting with a dictaphone which I would then like to publish on the web. if people give me their names I will make sure the questions are asked with the appropriate name of the person who submitted it.

Please also try and keep questions in line with what he may be able to answer. For example, there is no point in me asking him questions about the Home Office or ICO as he will not be able to answer them (at least not without consulting both authorities first and as we already know the HO don't even answer his questions in a reasonable time frame). More useful questions would be ones seaking his opinion on issues. For example, I received a very good question from Peter N as follows:

Quote:
Why should the internet be treated differently from any other communication system?

Interfering with mail or tapping phone lines is illegal (with very limited exceptions) so why should the internet be regarded as an exception especially as it is rapidly becoming the primary communications media for personal and business use and is going to be increasingy important as a means of contact between the public and the various authorities including parliament, the police and the health services as well as communications between officials in those bodies?

Surely it needs at least the same level of protection as the other systems as an absolute minimum and the role and duties of the ISP should be set out in law as it is for the mail and telephone service providers?
This is the sort of question the Earl will be able to answer because it is asking for an opinion.

Please remember I only have a couple of hours at most with the Earl so I have to select the strongest questions, please don't be offended if you submit a question and it doesn't get asked.

Thanks
