Re: summary: data retention call

Thanks Walter. I agree re transparency of data retention time frames and believe that is achievable. Providing detailed info that is confidential for the purposes outlined on the call is out of scope.

While sympathetic to commercial interests in confidentiality, 
transparency about data retention practices is crucial to get the 
informed consent necessary for DNT:0 signals. Unless I am confused about 
the nature of the disagreement here, this would seem like a no-brainer 
to me.
