(e/c while the initial content in the article was from a blog that purported to be from the Phoenix but was not immediately verifiable because the Phoenix was behind a paywall, Mandruss on the helpdesk was able to find [1] which appears to confirm proposed content for this article. The only issue is whether since the publication of the Independent article there have been further publications of facts which need to be incorporated into our article's coverage of the issue. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom00:28, 10 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Doherty's championing of the PSC, in the face of opposition and challenges from the Data Protection Commissioner, is notable by its absence. The whole "mandatory, not compulsory" thing was very newsworthy, as was the insistence that photos weren't biometric data. Given we cover such riveting and encyclopedia-worthy material as opening a plenary session of the OECD... Right, something for the weekend, perhaps.
