Re: W3C Workshop in San Diego

Ted,

The workshop is currently at capacity, though I suspect we'll to be 
able to get you in.  I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on the 
topics of the workshop in the form of a short position statement - 
that will both give the program committee ideas of what you might want 
to contribute and, since we continue to get a steady flow of late 
inquiries, help make the case that you should get priority for an open 
seat.  Details can be found in the call for participation: 
https://www.w3.org/Privacy/permissions-ws-2018/cfp.html

If you're stumped, you might start by thinking about the questions we 
asked in the application questionnaire:
-- Do you have research to share, an implementation or prototype to 
demonstrate, or a proposal to present? Please provide links and/or a 
brief explanation.
-- What dissatisfies you about the current permission model?
-- Please share some of your ideas for how to do effective 
security-privacy-accessibility-usability design.
-- What unusual point of view will you bring to the workshop?


As for others from Intuit: we are expecting Yi Zhang.  Cindy Barker 
had applied also - unfortunately, she just told me she will not be 
able to join us.  I try not to pay much attention to the corporate 
names on people's badges - I'm more interested in the quality of their 
own ideas.  So if you know more people that would contribute usefully 
to the discussion, whether inside Intuit or elsewhere, feel free to 
send them our way, though, again, we are currently at capacity.

Once you share a position statement with the PC, I'll try to get back 
to you quickly with an acceptance (or not, though I think that's 
unlikely).
