Agenda Item 2 (skip)

 

Agenda Item 3 - Grouping Mechanism

 

Lorrie: have people read this

Brooks: yes - I liked it

Lorrie: says that wording should be hint but wants to make sure it is 
understood that you can't lie

Lorrie: any comments?  Would you all be inclined to approve it then?

Giles: hasn't read yet

Jack: are there certain tokens that can't be grouped

Brooks and Lorrie: yes it is grouped by same rules as <statement>

Dave: suggests a language changes from "must honor" to "must make CP 
statements in good faith"

  Lorrie: says okay

Lorrie: any objections?

Rigo: please add parenthetically "bona fide" to "good faith"

Rigo: concerns about attributes. P3P 1.1 CP format expresses 1.0

Lorrie: what isn't supported is an optional extension and this is not a 
tragic omission

Jack: which extension are we talking about?

Rigo: the statement already has a grouping extension to allow display 
of opt in and opt out statements from Matthias

Lorrie: if we needed to we could add another layer of grouping to 
handle this

Lorrie: do we need to support this - would there be a case when you 
wanted to accept or reject a cookie based upon if the entire group was 
opt in or opt out.

Rigo: wants to change camps because he doesn't want them to be "too 
smart" and then there would be less pressure to do away with them

Giles: does this mean that you need to have compact policy parser?

Lorrie: is there anyone who wants to argue to add the 1.1 statement 
grouping into CPs (not the "grouping mechanism" for CPs)?

Giles: do we agree that we want CPs dumb?

Giles: okay with CP grouping mechanism

Lorrie: can we accept this today or do we need time to think?

Giles: With regards to displaying policies to user change language to 
SHOULD use full policy for source of information and specifically not 
the CP

Giles: pushes for MUST rather than should

Lorrie: likes Giles argument

Brooks: Wants the UA to display the set of information actually used to 
make a decision

Lorrie: suggest language change that reflects that - user agents that 
provide information to user that make cookie handling decisions must 
provide information based on the CP or full policy actually used to 
make the decision

Rigo: thinks that this is ambiguous

Rigo: thinks that Brooks wants a debugger

SYNOPSIS: Brooks pushing for UA to display the ACTUAL criteria actually 
used to make decision vs. the full policy.  Rigo thinks retranslation 
of CP provides a bad meaning to the end user.  Courts will want to use 
this bad translation.

Lorrie:  will send out a revision that essentially says that if a UA 
does use a CP to make a decision it MUST have a mechanism for 
displaying that CP... UAs that provide general information MUST use the 
full policy

  Lorrie: will circulate anther draft

 

Last Agenda Item -

  Lorrie: Would April 9th be a reasonable date for our next working draft

Rigo: what would be added?

Lorrie: known-hosts, grouping and some edits

Lorrie: can this be our last call draft

NO

Lorrie: let's get this as close as possible.  Let's make us have a 
mindset that this version internally that all the issues are 95% 
resolved.

Lorrie: very short issues that remain

Rigo: Lorrie please send the list the issues that you think remain

Lorrie: what is left in bug tracker?

Rigo: could you please just send your list?

Lorrie: I will send it

 

Lorrie: next meeting - same time next week
