Following up from <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2013Jun/0412.html> > Friends > > we have talked about there being a central neutral page that explains DNT to users, that the browsers can link to (e.g. from their help pages) or indeed anyone else can, and that in turn links on to more material as appropriate. > > A bunch of us got together and drafted the text below. There is clearly a placeholder paragraph towards the end, which would need fleshing out with specifics as they develop. We envisage that the W3C or WebPlatform.Org (who have not yet been asked) might host this, perhaps as a working group 'note'. > > I hope that this doesn't distract from the normative documents on our plate, but instead helps to make progress to providing the materials we need for a balanced understanding in the market. I have made the draft into a separate document, which means it now has a URL. Obviously it'll need to be adjusted to reflect the specifications as they evolve. <http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/drafts/dnt-for-users.html> I would expect to remove the 'editor' line before publication, and indeed move to the formal 'W3C Note' style. I think Nick can make us a 'product' in the issue tracker with which we can track issues against this. Obviously, to remain concise, comprehensible, and in a consistent style, the editors will need to retain rather tighter control over editorial issues.
