well I'm not a legislator, and if you're looking to pick holes, trust me you would be able to :)

The question is, is that the best approach and if not, what is? Once an approach is agreed then the inevitable x years of wrangling on details could occur.

You are crazy if you think that legislators are going to do a better job of designing a policy to regulate vulnerability researchers than technologists will. Whatever the policy would end up being, it will be asymptotically as effective and reasonable as whatever we talk about here.

If a bunch of technologists (including vuln researchers) can't define a reasonable policy, I think it's a pretty safe bet that there's no reasonable policy to be had.

Well I did say at the top of this thread that the proposal had glaring problems :) I was interested to hear if other people had alternate suggestions which would address the issue.

Sure. "It's not an issue." Problem solved.
