Re: [meetings] Privacy Principles for Web Advertising Features - Editorial Group (#18)

> @lknik & @jdelhommeau: when groups work on multiple distinct but related pieces of technology, they often stumble into more general principles. It's useful to document these so that people don't have to constantly revisit decided questions over the years. Groups haven't always been good at doing this, but the [HTML Design Principles](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/) is one example. We already know that we will have to make establish privacy rules, hence the idea that this document will have to exist.

There's no need to commit to anything right now, the important thing for the group is that there are enough people who are interested and willing to participate. As soon as we have a principle to put in it, we can get the ball rolling.

@darobin - as you know, I contributed to the security/privacy self-check, there's really no need to educate me about the usefulness of such documents. But my point is: how specific to this group/charter/deliverables do we want this to be? If anything can do, we can just as well copy-paste something older done somewhere else.
But I think the goal is to have something specific. Principles are mentioned in the Charter of this group and this highlights the importance of such a document. So my point is that it would be nice to know the rationale/aims/etc. Most importantly: how such a document is to be used. Is it supposed to be some kind of a sieve or litmus test for future proposals? IF so, then the document is absolutely critical, and what goes in, too, is important.
