privacywg call for consensus: Considerations for Reviewing Differential Privacy Systems note draft

Hi Privacy WG,

This is a call for consensus, to confirm the conclusion from the last
Privacy Working Group meeting, that the Privacy Working Group should work
on differential privacy guidance, starting with publishing a Note Draft of
the doc,
Considerations for Reviewing Differential Privacy Systems (for
Non-Differential Privacy Experts):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pE3p6TVsERPln00PLXj6j9rTdoG3PmiNHhv3NtXDtEU/

Description of the Note Draft status in the Process:
https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#note-draft
Note Draft would not indicate that the contents have the consensus
agreement of the Working Group.

This would also configure auto-publishing of this document (as Note Draft)
when updates are made, with ongoing review by the group and at least one
formal review by the group around TPAC each year. And the Working Group
could decide by consensus at some point whether it's ready to be published
as a Note.

Pete, as editor, and W3C Team can work on converting to appropriate format
and creating a corresponding repo. (In fact, they can start that process
now in any case.)

I believe the editors have worked through some feedback already (via Slack
channel discussions) but in any case publishing a draft and creating a repo
would be a starting point for opening issues and pull requests through
GitHub for more detailed further discussion of issues with the document.
Work is ongoing, this isn't a call for consensus on the document as
complete.

Please reply on the list by Monday, November 17th if you support or object
to publication of a Note Draft of Considerations for Reviewing Differential
Privacy Systems.

Thanks,
Nick, for the Privacy WG co-chairs

P.S. Our group doesn't have a formal process, a "call for adoption" as in
some other bodies, to say, we're working on this formally. If Note Draft is
a model that works well, we might also do this for drafts in progress on
credentials and permissions. We could also agree that we're working on this
but have it set up as an Editor's Draft, with a GitHub repo, and decide
later as a separate step that it's ready enough for public review as a Note
Draft. I believe some other W3C groups have used that as a
call-for-adoption-like process, but there's no community-wide pattern yet.
