I would hope that Tim Berners Lee, Lawrence Lessig and Eben Moglen would all be there. Even Stallman should be present, since he most often is right despite coming across as a madman to some, and because he drops the anchor so far in the direction of privacy that people like TBL and LL look like the rational moderates that they are in this conversation. Unfortunately the radicals in favor of the surveillance state already have the ear of the President and Congress in this conversation. The presence of Stallman would add a much needed balance.
