I'd say things like the NAIS report, various comments
from groups like EFF, CPtech, CDT, ... and analyses
by people like Froomkin would be highly productive
contributions, if the board bothered to listen.

Granted, some of the crtics do rave a bit now and
then, and a few are outright loons. That's not an
excuse for rejecting serious criticism, dismissing
it as non-productive carping.
