Re: Automotive Privacy Principles Community Group Launched

We are looking to kickoff the W3C Automotive Privacy Principles Community
Group the week of 29 January. Please take a few minutes to indicate on this
doodle survey when might be good for you to attend so we can select a time
that would get us a quorum.

We are also discussing starting a complimentary group in COVESA focusing on
Consent Management.
