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

@lknik I know _you_ know these things, but this is a new group with a lot of people who are new to W3C and as you know it can be quite daunting. So I want to make sure things feel clear to others in the conversation too.

The document is definitely meant to be specific to this group. The impetus behind the document is this: whatever systems we design here will necessarily involve _some_ data sharing. We're not operating under older "privacy as secrecy" assumptions, so it's fine for some data to flow. However, in order to support privacy these information flows need to follow rules and those rules need to be principled, in line with the Web's ethical principles. I don't think that it is meant to be a preemptive sieve, however if we've adopted a given principle (say, "For attribution purposes, all data needs to be pink.") and someone later proposes an attribution method with green data, they would have to make a succesful case about updating the principle before being considered.

Does this help?
