Re: [patwg-charter] Ben Savage: Need to define Privacy (#6)

I don't think it's wise to pick two small privacy-relevant threats as the only parts of privacy that will be relevant to the Working Group's work. Certainly in conducting privacy reviews of this work, I'm not going to consider only two very narrow pieces of a larger threat model.

Privacy does not mean just limiting cross-site or same-site tracking. Privacy is not just protection from unsanctioned tracking as previously described by the TAG: that doc also wasn't trying to set out a comprehensive definition of privacy violations, it was responding to a very particular subset of tracking done without cookies because of the lack of transparency/control by the end user.

And I don't think it's wise for the charter to attempt a comprehensive consensus definition of every relevant part of privacy to advertising technology. That's not generally the purpose of charters, and it would foreclose on any of the patcg deliverables on how privacy applies to advertising technology.
