Rather than "educate the enemy" via public discussion, I think it would be 
best if those capable of contributing to solutions to this problem:

1.   Collaborated in private
2.   Developed a consensus "I-D"

If a solution is developed whose effectiveness is not weakened by making 
the details public, it can be published.  If that is not the case, the 
solution can be made available in private to "known entities".

Make sense?

No, I don't think it makes sense.  Aside from the lawsuits targetting you
for conspiracy if you don't include everybody who needs the ongoing partial
results in order to stay in business, there is NO solution to this that
depends on any kind of algorythmic privacy.
