[PING] Mitigating Browser Fingerprinting in Web Specifications - publishing as an Interest Group Note

Dear PING,

A very big thank you to Nick Doty for single-handedly leading the work on Mitigating Browser Fingerprinting in Web Specifications.

The draft is here: https://w3c.github.io/fingerprinting-guidance/

Thank you also to everyone who provided input on the document at its various stages.

As a reminder, this document is a draft Interest Group Note to provide best practices to Web specification authors on mitigating the privacy impacts of browser fingerprinting, developed by the Privacy Interest Group (PING). PING has collaborated with the Technical Architecture Group (TAG) on this guidance. Since the last version: the list of best practices has been expanded and made more specific; guidance has been provided on how to evaluate the severity of fingerprinting surface; and, additional references and examples have been provided. 

We have addressed the outstanding issues in Github and consider this draft ready for publication.

If you have any last minute comments, please share them on this list by Monday 25 February 2019.

Christine and Tara (chairs)
