This memo contains the thoughts and recountings of events that
transpired during and after the release of information about the NSA

who was involved with sifting through the information to responsibly
inform the public, a security area director of the IETF, a human

of this memo is to provide some historical perspective, while at the
same time offering a view as to what security and privacy challenges
the technical community should consider.
