Apologies if this isn't considered appropriate on this list, but I think
the point of joining representative organisations is important, especially
on this topic.

Join a group like ITPA (it doesn't have to be ITPA, so this isn't
"strictly" an ad - more a drive to get people participating in industry
associations.  The more members we have, the stronger our voice.  We have
commented strongly on this issue, and will continue to do so on this and
other issues of importance to IT Professionals.

ITPA Associate membership is free.  Paid membership is less than the cost
of a cup of coffee a week.

If not us, choose another representative organisation, and make sure your
voice is heard.

If you (and others) don't, then things like Metadata Retention, breaking
encryption, and goodness knows what they have up their sleeves next will
continue to go through.

Regards,

Robert
