Anti-Fraud Community Group Proposed

The Anti-Fraud Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

The mission of the Anti Fraud Community Group is to identify and define
scenarios involving fraud and unwanted traffic, as well as to incubate
and develop web features and APIs to address those scenarios while
improving user security, privacy, and accessibility. Fraud and unwanted
traffic can include web activity perpetrated by botnets, attackers
impersonating users, and other activity that intends to harm users or
compromise web services. 

The group welcomes participation from anti-fraud service providers,
common targets of unwanted traffic, browser vendors, web privacy
advocates, web application developers, web hosting and cloud service
providers, and other interested parties.

The Community Group will discuss issues that server operators and
anti-fraud service providers face in this area and ideas for new web
features and APIs intended to be implemented in browsers or similar user
agents.

--------------------------------------------------

You are invited to support the creation of this group:

Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and
people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer
be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/
