RE: charter extension announced; PAG launched

Thanks for the update.   I would like to make the offer for the October
meeting to be either Oct 4 or 5th in San Jose.   Many stakeholders will be
attending the OTA Forum and IAPP in San Jose and the 4th or 5th will allow
many to consolidate travel.  In addition, OTA can make space available at
the Sainte Claire Hotel on the 4th.  The only costs would be for food which
I assume can be sponsored.   Just an offer

Subject: charter extension announced; PAG launched

We have sent two announcements to the W3C Advisory Committee today:


1. The TPWG charter is extended by 6 months.  At the same time, we have
announced that we've begun work on the planning for a W3C workshop to chart
next steps for W3C's work on Web privacy and tracking. This workshop will
also be an opportunity to share lessons learned implementing Do Not Track,
evaluations of its impact, and to provide input into the group's high-level
direction. We are aiming to hold the workshop in October, likely on the US
West Coast.


2. We have launched a PAG to address US patent 8,156,206 and its impact not
he Tracking Preference Expression draft.  Charter:
	http://www.w3.org/2012/06/dnt-pag-charter.html

The PAG will operate in W3C member confidential space, and will release a
public report.  By default, it includes the W3C AC representatives of the
member organizations that are represented in this Working Group.  AC
representatives can use a registration form linked from the PAG charter to
nominate alternates.  We anticipate that the PAG will take up work shortly.


Let me know if you have any questions.
