[wg/privacy] Formal Objection (charter review)

While I’m supportive of this effort in general and look forward to the 
group being created, I find myself in the regrettable position of 
needing to object to this charter.

Specifically, I object to the inclusion of a "Privacy Labels and 
Declarations" deliverable. Such a document is not currently being 
incubated at W3C, as far as I can tell. Not only is it not currently 
being incubated, it’s never even been proposed for incubation! I wasn’t 
able to find anything resembling it in either WICG’s or Privacy CG’s 
proposals repos:

* https://github.com/privacycg/proposals/issues
* https://github.com/WICG/proposals/issues

It got added to the charter in 3a94387, but that commit doesn’t cite an 
issue or pull request so I’ve been unable to track down a justification 
or rationale for including such a deliverable before it’s even been 
proposed for incubation, much less incubated:

https://github.com/w3cping/administrivia/commit/3a9438795afceb656e2395d1aa8ea9fc2e3eb3fc

It’s hard to know if if such a document is worth producing with so 
little to go on. But, if it is, I’d rather its proponents do the work of 
incubating it in a Community Group. If it’s got legs, they can propose 
to add it to the list of WG deliverables in its next round of chartering.

Removing the "Privacy Labels and Declarations" deliverable would address 
my objection.
