* Anything sent unencrypted over the network is vulnerable to
interception by anyone (not only MW members).
* Even if encrypted, possibility of traffic analysis.
* Network provides means for gaining unauthorised access to member's
private files.
* Issue of logging of use of services (ftp/irc/game/p2p) provided on
network - do they need privacy policies?
* Content Policies (for Internet Gateway Nodes - should they come
about)
* Cache Policies
* Electronic Signatures (PGP Keys etc)
* Need to provide help on general system security for users (who may
not have run servers in the past.

COMMENTS
(TysonClugg) What about issues relating directly to the Melbourne
Wireless Inc. website?
I think that the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P [14] Project)
has a lot of relevance here and needs to be addressed.
