Advance Notice: Workshop on Age-Based Restrictions on Content Access

Hello,

This is an early notice that the W3C Team, in conjunction with the 
Internet Architecture Board (IAB), is currently preparing a joint 
workshop on Age-Based Restrictions on Content Access (formerly Child 
Safety on the Web).

Preliminary details on the workshop, including a draft Call for 
Participation, are available at:
   https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/505

This workshop seeks to perform a thorough examination of the technical 
and architectural choices that are involved in deploying age-based 
restrictions on access to content. We do not expect to identify a single 
candidate solution, even if that might be an ideal outcome. The goal is 
to build a shared understanding of the properties of various proposed 
approaches.

The workshop is expected to take place October 7-9, 2025, in London, UK 
(subject to timely progress), before TPAC 2025.

We welcome your general questions and comments regarding workshop 
preparation. Please provide your input on the workshop's Strategy Issue at:
   https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/505

For further information, please contact Tara Whalen at tara@w3.org.

Thank you,

For Tara Whalen, W3C Privacy Lead
Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing & Communications
