Obviously, some cops want a copy of someone's mailbox and last logs because
they were phishing.  There couldn't be anything else useful in prosecution.

Thanks, richard, for restoring my faith in Grexers - I was surprised no
one asked about this earlier. 

As several people stated - the subpoena came from a law enforcement
agency, and the subpoena itself requested that we not discuss its
specifics, in order not to hinder an ongoing investigation.  This was a
request, not a patriot act gag order.  The subpoena related to one
specific user of Grex.  Although we don't know exactly what the case is
about, the board and staff have reason to think that it is not a matter of
national security, but a more mundane form of criminal activity.

The board read the subpoena carefully and weighed its desire to aid the
investigation (both because we're responsible citizens, and have always
stated that Grex is not to be used for illegal purposes, and because we
have no desire to piss off law enforcement) against its desire to do all
business as openly as possible.  I asked the law enforcement official I
spoke with about what we could say publicly, and we agreed that it was OK
to say that we responed to a subpoena.  (Basically what I said in #2.)

As far as I know, the board didn't authorize anything that was in conflict
with any member votes or past policy.

If you need any assistance on the details for handling data acquisition(i.e.
integrity, discovery, and disclosure of electronic evidence) then feel free
to contact me at todd@plesco.us
If you want to be "responsible" citizens and not piss off law enforcement,
you should definately strive to consider the tactical and technical
ramifications in the digital evidence handling which not only cover chain of
custody but might include expert testimony and anything involving
admissibility which the prosecutor may need to address.  Provide both
hard(printed with full header) and soft(disk) copies, etc.
Also, if anyone involved in knowledge of this subpoena also has a possibility
for being unduly prejudicial or confused on issues then the judge could toss
the whole thing out.  Careful carefull my lil Colombo crime fighting friends.

I was not able to attend that board meeting, but I was kept informed of
the issues.  Moreover, I'm an attorney and an ACLU member.  I advised my
fellow board members to comply with the subpoena.

Will you support GreX in a court of law.

That depends on what you mean by "support".

I don't think it would be a good idea for me, or for any board member,
to represent Grex as an attorney in court.

Remember the old saying:  "a man who is his own lawyer has a fool
for a client".  It's also possible that polygon's area(s) of expertise
don't conveniently happen to be a great match for this legal situation.
