Re: Fw: New text Issue 25: Aggregated data: collection and use for audience measurement research

I think key points are: 

1/ Panels are not an issue as they are based on consent anyway. The 
question is rather how to leverage DNT:0 to better get to consent for 
panels. Everything that requires "out-of-band" stuff on the Web 
diminishes the utility of DNT and DNT:0. 

2/ There is the calibration part. The devil is in the detail here. 
What would be the smallest percentage of DNT:0 users in a given 
clickstream so that calibration could still happen? Because I think if 
calibration is done with DNT:0 users, there is no issue. (Get a web-wide 
exception)

Instead of keeping the data, what about aggregate on the fly and have 
the software be certified by somebody? This would avoid the retention of 
data over 53 weeks. There is a very contentious discussion about data 
retention in Europe. Wanting 53 weeks data retention for DNT:1 while law 
enforcement will only get 24 weeks is recipe for more contention. 

=> calibration is our central issue. How can we do calibration either 
with sufficient DNT:0 or without data collection that foils the DNT:1 
goals. This isn't easy
