AGENDA: 21 July P3P spec call

The next P3P specification group conference call will be on
Wednesday, July 21, 2004, 11 am - 12 pm US Eastern. Dial-in
information is available at
http://www.w3.org/P3P/Group/Specification/1.1/meetings.html

1. XML schema stuff
We're still looking for feedback from implementers. Serge will be 
sending
more info on the possibility of a translation tool shortly.

2. Rechartering timeline - the charter for this working group expired. 
Rigo is drafting a new charter
http://www.w3.org/P3P/Group/Specification/040719-charter.html [member 
only]. The main difference from our old charter is the timeline. We 
expect to be ready for last call in August and then for Candidate 
Recommendation by November (maybe earlier?). We can't exit CR until we 
have met exit criteria (which means we need implementations). What is a 
realistic schedule for getting P3P 1.1 implementations out that we can 
use to meet our exit criteria?

3. Exit criteria. We need to have a set of criteria for when we will 
know that P3P 1.1 has been sufficiently tested and implemented to 
become a Proposed Recommendations. I have cut and paste the P3P1.0 exit 
criteria (from http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-P3P-20001215/) to the end 
of this message. We have plenty of time to work out the details, but I 
would like to start the discussion about what our exit criteria are 
going to look like. Typically, W3C specs have two implementations of 
all features as part of their exit criteria. We also have the option of 
designating certain features as "at risk" and removing them if they are 
not implemented by the deadline we specify. For all the gory details of 
the W3C process for getting in and out of candidate recommendation, see 
http://www.w3.org/2004/02/Process-20040205/tr.html#cfi

4. Schedule next call (August 11?)

P3P 1.0 Exit Criteria

The Candidate Recommendation review period ends once the milestones 
below are achieved. Input from implementors will be accepted at least 
through 15 March 2001.

  The milestones are:
	1.  	 at least one P3P user agent implementation integrated into an 
HTTP user agent  capable of fetching HTML files that includes all of 
the functionality required  and recommended by this specification
	2.  	 a second P3P user agent implementation of each specified 
function (these  functions may be demonstrated across several partial 
P3P implementations  or they may be demonstrated in a second full P3P 
implementation)
	3.  	 at least one special-purpose tool for generating P3P policies 
and policy  reference files
	4.  	 at least one tool for converting full P3P policies to compact 
policies
	5.  	 at least 10 P3P-enabled production web sites
	6.  	 at least one web site that illustrates each of the example 
scenarios in  Section 2.5 of the P3P1.0 specification  as well as at 
least one web site that uses mini-policies (these may be either  
production web sites or demonstration sites)

  Furthermore during the Candidate Recommendation review period, the 
Working Group will:
	1.  	 Prepare a W3C Note describing RDF data models representing P3P 
policies and  policy reference files.
	2.  	 Submit an Internet Draft to the IETF describing the P3P header 
and request  that an RFC be issued documenting this header.
	3.  	 Prepare a set of test policies and policy reference files that 
user agent  implementers can use to demonstrate that their 
implementations behave correctly.  This should include examples of 
policies that contain syntax errors.
	4.  	 Specify the appropriate behavior for user agents upon 
encountering  a  policy with invalid syntax.

  The working group also encourages implementors to explore the 
possibility of implementations in web proxies and mobile devices, as 
well as implementations that can import user preferences using the 
[APPEL]  language.

  Please send review comments to www-p3p-public-comments@w3.org 
(publicly archived).

  Should this specification prove very difficult or impossible to 
implement, the Working Group will return the document to Working Draft 
status and make necessary changes. Otherwise, the Working Group 
anticipates asking the W3C Director to advance this document to 
Proposed Recommendation.
