RE: Request for comments on priorities for DNT

1.	The TPE document should not be released without the compliance document. There are already a lot of ambiguities about compliant User Agents. If server and user agent can not assume that they are speaking the same language, the standard is not helpful: server will ignore UAs request and UAs will consider server responses invalid...
2.	Define Unlinkability, this would help to specify which pieces of information service providers can retain and consequently to define “DoNotTrack”.
3.	Following Jonathan’s suggestion, I think it will be interesting to hear the point of view of small publishers from different continents.


Best regards,

Vincent

Subject: Request for comments on priorities for DNT

To Tracking Protection Working Group:

First, let me once again echo the thanks that many of you have given to Aleecia for her service with this group.  I have found Aleecia unfailingly gracious and fair in her dealings with me, and I am glad she is planning to continue to share her insights with the group as we move forward.

As mentioned on the weekly call today, to assist me in getting up to speed, the Working Group chairs solicit input from participants, with comments due by noon Eastern time on Wednesday, December 5.  The intent would be to discuss these comments on the December 12 call.

We ask that you emphasize no more than 3 points and do your submission in no more than 300 words.  (To help you be brief, we will prioritize in our reading the comments that comply with the limits.)

As you make these points, we are interested in what you think are the priority points for the co-chairs to consider, including: areas of agreement, what principles should guide our work, and what will best bring the new co-chair up to speed.

(If this request for comments feels vague or not precise enough, my apologies.  It perhaps is a sign of my lack of experience with defining problems within the W3C procedures.  The basic idea, however, should be clear -- what are the priority things for the new co-chair to know.)

Please post your comments to this email list.

In looking forward to working with you all,

Peter
