Dear all, as promised now the kick-off for your Tracking Protection Working Group Task Force on global considerations. We have 38 People on our Task Force and we expect more people to come in once they have been accepted as Invited Experts. I'm also in discussions with the french CNIL and with other DPAs for participation. The more we have, the better it is, as we need buy-in from them. Any suggestions for further additions are welcome. We have a page for this task force at http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/international.html I will update it as we go. For discussion, please send email to our mailing-list: public-tracking-international@w3.org All Task Force Members are subscribed. We have our own product line in Tracker. Please use it: http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/products/4 There are already open issues, but those are very generic and from earlier. We may close them and start from scratch. Procedure/Process: Global considerations, as it is a Task Force of the Tracking Protection WG, is bound by the charter of the WG. This means we will try all we can to avoid scope creep. We are a Task Force. This means we can not decide on anything. We will just work on suggestions that we will then submit to the Working Group for further discussion/consensus. But of course it doesn't look well if you agree here and oppose then in the WG plenary. The WG will then decide to incorporate (or not) our suggestions into the text of the relevant Specification. Goals: 1/ It is our goal to NOT write an additional document with normative content. 2/ We want to create normative text for the specification of DNT:0 as a minimum permission that includes at least the data collection necessary for OBA and market research. 3/ Create text for a footnote in the Tracking Preference Expression Specification that indicates that for EU there is no distinction between first and third party 4/ Add non-normative text to the Tracking Preference Expression Specification hinting on how to use DNT as a consent mechanism 5/ Create a Best Practices Document to describe non-normative implementation considerations world wide. This may include hints concerning the APEC Privacy agreement as well as EU data protection implementation tips. 6/ Add implementation considerations to the Best Practices Document 7/ Decide on the form of the Best Practices Document. It can be a W3C Note or just something the Group could contribute to webplatform.org Timing: I assume we start the discussion on the mailing-list. I will organize a call if needed. And we plan for a F2F meeting in Europe in the second half of January 2013. To ease this Winter travel, IAB will try to find a location in southern Europe. But it may be well Brussels or even combined with the WG F2F on the East Coast. This is still a matter of discussion and I would like to get your feedback on preferred locations (also accessible and cheap for US travellers as we have more people from the US in the TF than I expected. The more we distribute the work, the faster we can reach our goals and dismantle the Task Force. I would expect the advertisement industry to suggest a text with a list of data that they normally collect for OBA and/or market research. If it is large, we can work with an annex This said, I hope for a good and friendly cooperation. We need to be intelligent, creative and open to compromise. If we manage to get the EU consent mechanism without an additional normative document, we have really achieved something. -- Rigo Wenning W3C Privacy Activity Lead rigo@w3.org
