FYI: IETF Draft on "Privacy Requirements" for protocol specs

Of possible interest to members of the PMRM TC:
Privacy Requirements for IETF Protocols
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-cooper-ietf-privacy-requirements/
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cooper-ietf-privacy-requirements-00
It is the consensus of the IETF that IETF protocols be designed to
avoid privacy violations to the extent possible.  This document  establishes a number of protocol design choices as Best Current  Practices for the purpose of avoiding such violations....
The IETF has long-standing principles that support strong security in  protocol design and a tradition of encouraging protocol designers to  take these principles into account.  [RFC1984] articulated the view
that encryption is an important tool to protect the cofidentiality of  communications, and that as such it should be encouraged and  available to all.  [RFC3365] requires that all protocols implement
strong security.  [RFC3552] provides guidance about how to consider  security in protocol design and how to document security choices.  In  [RFC2804], the IETF established a policy of not considering
wiretapping requirements in IETF protocols.  [RFC6973] explains the  many different aspects of privacy that can be affected by Internet  protocol design and provides guidance to help designers consider
privacy in their work.  This document extends the existing body of  IETF principles concerning security by articulating Best Current  Practices for avoiding egregious privacy violations and establishing
support for privacy as a principle of IETF protocol design.
These principles, old and new, should be applied when designing new  protocols, and where applicable, should be considered for updates of
existing protocols.
Discussion of this draft is directed to the  
list."
