> 
> The Private User Agent Community Group is chartered to improve user
> privacy and user control by designing the User Agent to minimize
> fingerprinting and to improve the control the user has over information
> shared over the Web and to improve the security of the User Agent in
> these regards.  The group seeks to standardize the designs necessary to
> achieve these goals, to develop extensions designed for privacy to
> mitigate inevitable losses of functionality, to foster consideration of
> privacy in the design of other Web standards, and to discuss and develop
> implementations and test suits.  Mechanisms for expressing user privacy
> preferences to servers and content provides are outside the scope of
> this group.
