Threshold is absolutely key. You're right to ask and to think about that. If the threshold's too low, there are, obviously, negative privacy impacts. If it's too high, the benefits to national security and the viability of the act are threatened.
In my remarks I just tried to talk a bit about what relevancy means. It implies a test on the discloser, whether that's amongst the 17 or outside the 17, to understand the reliability and the accuracy. It has to be something that's in real time, and it can't be something hypothetical or future or anything. Is it actually meaningful? It exists elsewhere in other acts in terms of an information threshold.
The key thing for the agencies here, but particularly the non-national security agencies, is as you go up and you think about higher thresholds, you think about what that would mean. You're putting other agencies in a position to be experts on the mandate of the agency you're giving the information to, right? That could create problems. It could create internal constraints. To be challenged on that decision later would obviously be awkward for them. They would have to show that they really understood that mandate, that it was required to give that information for that agency to do its job, and that may create problems. It's just something to think about as you ponder the threshold in your work.
