These are good points.

As well, all symptoms I believe of a lack of a simple standard in  
notice.  Needed to  provide a common(universal) location and structure  
for notices to be read, discovered and made accessible.

As a result every Enterprise needs to push notices to people limiting  
the ability for people to pull notice and manage notices on aggregate.

  We run into this issue with informed consent online.  Something I  
view as a specific type of two-way (or bilateral) notice.  Right now  
there are way too many notices.

Consent notices (the primary online control tool)  causes friction  
between enterprise and users causing high drop out rates online. One  
approach where a notice standard could reduce the amount of notices  
could be:   if a user could tag a consent notice (or opt iin/out) with  
an identifier and link it for administration later.  The development  
of notices for consent and especially informed consent for management  
post consent provision would be a way to reduce notices and increase  
their value.   Providing an increase in usability of controls online.

Maybe notices for control of information  need to be standardised so  
that the number of notices can be reduced and the quality and clarity  
of notice can be increased?
