Offer users choice over the advertising network they use as a path forward.

The PUA CG has a draft proposal for advancing user privacy and unlocking the frustrated DNT 'negotiating'.  It is proposed that user choice over the advertising network should be improved.  With this small change in the dynamics, it would no longer be necessary to bend to stake holders that threaten to walk out because the market would open up to other networks that cater for users concern about their privacy.  See: http://www.w3.org/community/pua/wiki/Choice_of_Advertising_Network

I believe there are many other benefits that governments and their voters would be interested in so please give this some consideration and pass the word around in discussions.

cheers
