Dear Web Payments Working Group,

The topic of permissions and consent has come up on multiple occasions in this Working Group. I wanted to share with you this call for participation 
on a W3C Workshop on the topic, to be held 18-19 September 2018 in San Diego. Some details follow.

> 
>   W3C Workshop on Permissions and User Consent
>   September 18-19 2018, San Diego, CA
>   https://www.w3.org/Privacy/permissions-ws-2018/cfp.html <https://www.w3.org/Privacy/permissions-ws-2018/cfp.html>

> Thanks to Qualcomm for hosting the workshop.
> 
> This workshop brings together security and privacy experts, UI/UX researchers, browser vendors, mobile OS developers, API authors, Web publishers and users to address the privacy, security and usability challenges presented by the complex and overlapping variety of permissions and consent systems that are currently presented for hardware sensors, device capabilities and applications on the Web.
> 
> The scope includes:
> 
> * user consent;
> * bundling of permissions;
> * lifetime/duration of permissions;
> * permission inheritance to iframes and other embedded elements;
> * relation to same origin policy;
> * UIs and controls;
> * interaction with private browsing modes;
> * implicit permission grants;
> * progressive permission grants;
> * cross-stack permissions: how OS, browser, and web app permissions interact;
> * permission transparency;
> * relation to regulatory requirements;
> * special considerations for systems that use the browser as a pass-through (e.g. EME and Web Authentication); and
> * permissions/transparency/UI as it relates to display-less devices that connect to the Internet.
> 
> We aim to share experiences and user studies, leading to common understanding of when and how to seek user consent for use of various Web platform capabilities. We expect this workshop to lead to concrete and consistent guidance for API authors and implementers and to identify areas for further standardization or research. An important take-away from this workshop should be guidance on how Permissions APIs should be designed, both now and in the future, considering the rapid evolution of the web platform.
