Milton,

to make it short I agree with your argumentation. Minimizing
does not necessarily mean that now existing data has to be
taken out nor does it mean that there can't be additional data.
It just identifies the work that has to be done. Maybe we should
clarify this a bid by saying:

"is the minimum required information today"

This indicates that we should have a look at the data elements
from a present perspective which includes uses for law enforcement etc.
and does not only consider past uses, which were merely of technical
nature.

Best,

tom
