Upcoming: W3C Workshop on Permissions, 5–6 December 2022

Hello,

W3C is pleased to call for participation in:

     W3C Workshop on Permissions
     December 5–6 2022, Google Munich, Germany
     https://www.w3.org/Privacy/permissions-ws-2022/

Thanks to Google for hosting the workshop.

The W3C Workshop on Permissions brings together security and privacy 
experts, UI/UX designers and researchers, browser vendors, OS 
developers, API authors, web publishers and users. We aim to address the 
privacy, security and usability challenges involved in controlling 
access to an increasingly powerful set of capabilities on the Web and 
other platforms.

The scope includes:

* user concerns and preferences, including those of vulnerable 
individuals and communities;
* better alignment of permission lifetime/duration with user tasks;
* risks and benefits of human-centric grouping/categorization of 
permissions and applications;
* challenges with novel capabilities;
* capability abuse threat models and mitigations;
* scoping of permissions to origins vs. applications, relation to same 
origin policy;
* UIs and controls;
* integrated permission control surfaces tailored to the capability itself;
* permission transparency, accountability, and control; and
* balancing well-specified permissions UX in standards with the ability 
for implementers to meet the future user and product requirements.

We aim to share experiences and user studies, leading to common 
understanding of how to ensure user comprehension and control of 
powerful capabilities while managing cognitive load.

Attendance is free for all invited participants and is open to the 
public, whether or not W3C members.
