PING at TPAC: 12 September 2022

Hi privacy folks,

We are scheduled to meet during the week-long W3C Technical Plenary on
Monday, September 12th. You should have just received a meeting update
from the W3C Calendar, with our agenda, and details for joining the
meeting, either in person or remotely. Hopefully you have already
registered for TPAC (fee waivers are available if necessary), but if
not registration will re-open on Monday:
https://www.w3.org/2022/09/TPAC/registration.html

PING will have a short meeting on the first morning of TPAC to help
coordinate our outreach to other group meetings throughout the week
and to discuss the privacy review process and how to improve it. The
agenda is below, and just includes the topics we planned at our last
teleconference.

Agenda:
* welcome, introductions, code of conduct
* meetings to cover over the TPAC week
* process of conducting a privacy review
  * any changes to make
  * how to open and track issues, including this week
* lessons learned, guidance and mitigations
  * what to add to questionnaires etc.
  * addressing ecosystem issues
* recruiting more reviewers
* process for follow-ups post TPAC

TPAC is often busy with privacy work, primarily because of the
opportunity to sit in on various Working Group meetings and other
informal meetings where new work is being considered, to identify
potential privacy issues (or opportunities for new privacy
improvements). Please take a look at the schedule ahead of time and we
can use this Monday morning meeting to improve coverage of the
relevant meetings we would like to attend.

Wednesday's breakout sessions can also be relevant for privacy work:

Perhaps this is true every year, but it seems like a pretty
extraordinary number of directly privacy-relevant topics will be
discussed at the often conflicting breakout sessions on Wednesday,
including (but not limited to):
FedCM; Device APIs; opting out of privacy protections; monetization;
single sign-on/federation; UA breaking changes; IP address privacy;
Policy Protected Data Access; the video element; cookies; fenced
frames; trusted web; cache partitioning; bounce tracking; Topics API

It's going to be a very busy week!

I look forward to seeing many of you in person and others on Zoom or in chat.
Cheers,
Nick (for the co-chairs)
