Privacy Policy (Palmer)

Palmer presented a draft privacy policy, modeled on Usenix's. Consensus was that more work needed to be done, especially in regards to levels/layers of privacy (e.g., for a membership directory) and email forwarding (the ACM Privacy Policy might be a good example of the latter).

To be brought back for a vote at the next meeting.
