[Bigbang-dev] security and privacy-mentions at the IETF

[Nick Doty]

+1, this is really interesting, Amelia! I’m not sure, but I think this was an email message stuck in a backlog, so we may be replying several months late. Be sure that that isn’t because of a lack of activity on the project or interest in this use case.

I especially like the method of using counts for the word “the” as a kind of normalization. On another thread, Seb had suggested that we normalize by the number of messages sent (which I think is also useful) but using a baseline word like that could potentially do a better job at handling the situation where long and short messages could be very different. Do you know if there is published literature on using this technique?

And I also think the periodicity testing is interesting, and I like the finding that maybe privacy advocates are more willing to work on the weekends. That might actually be an interesting way to identify volunteer participation. My impression is that grad students, advocates, people participating as unpaid volunteers are more likely to send emails on nights and weekends than those who participate in Internet governance as a formal part of their job.

Cheers,
Nick
