given the vast scope of your PIA with an estimated 70% plus of the whole UK internet individuals effected, this local townhall type meeting you propose is nowere near enough to cover anywere near the scope.

Thanks Popper. I'll do my best, but I really have to be clear that the PIA isn't a matter of voting, it's a matter of process. Seeking the balance of public opinion is a road to bedlam, and is subordinate to the more arduous task of sorting out the facts. As a privacy activist I never based my actions on whether the majority of the population went along with me (and most don't on such issues as CCTV or expansion of police powers) but I continue regardless to work through process and principle. That approach will be reflected at this meeting.
