Monday Call - Kick-off Call for Objections for Issue 22; review of edits for other issues

Hi Folks,

unfortunately, our agreement seems to have unraveled. As a consequence,
I now would like move to a Call for Objection on Issue 22.
Note that this puts us on a defined timeline for completion (while we
still have 2 weeks to converge on a single consensus proposal).

The procedure is described here (apologies that it is a bit dated):
https://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/1309-plan.html

The general idea is:
Until Week 1: (this call):
- We freeze the list of texts that are used as alternatives (should be
smaller than the initial list)
Until Week 2: May 29.
- Anyone in the group can submit "substantiated objections" (no need to
have voting right).
Until Week 3: June 05
- The chairs determine consensus as described in the document.

So far, I have recently seen 2 Text Alternatives:
1. otherParties array (by Rob): Machine-readable list of third parties
for transparency purposes only
2. otherParties as URL that points to some non-machine-readable page
that describes the third parties (by Shane).

Alternatives that I heard and that I would like to drop (unless someone
sustains support):
- No change at all (by Shane; Probably superseded by (2))?
- Combinations with some API to get some additional information on what
third parties did not receive DNT;0 even thoug a site-wide exception exists.

On Monday, I would like to finalize a list of text proposals that go
into the CfO (default is those two).

Regards,
matthias
