Informal notes from the Global Considerations Document breakout session distilling the lunchtime conversation. Those that attended please add to/edit this as you see fit. Project lead: Rigo Wenning Project description: Create a document [Global Considerations Document] outlining regional regulatory considerations when implementing the DNT technical standard. This document will be drafted by a sub-group of the TPWG as a WG Note to the standard reflecting the WG consensus, and consist of non-normative text describing regional considerations, reflecting best practices around implementing the technical standard. Scope: EU, APEC, and LA & SA (hence the name "globalŠ"). Goal of project: Create a document that reflects global best practices around how to implement the DNT standard, if implemented, is recognized by the regulator (specifically EU DPA's) as being compliant with regional regulatory standards/requirements. Considerations (greatly distilled): 1. In the US, DNT:1 is the debate around what you can't do. In the EU, DNT:0 is the debate around what you can do. Can the EU law (normative guidance) inform the tech standard? 2. UI will have a key role in the creation of the global doc because that is how the regulator will judge compliance thus serving as the signal of compliance. Questions to answer: presentation to the user and how the UI's will work. [Yes - we know UI is out of scope of technical specification but the sub-group feels it will play a key role in the development of the Global Considerations Document.] 3. Sub-group will be interpreting law in light of technology. 4. Need other parts of the value chain: browsers due to UI considerations and buy in from DPA's (and other regulators) Next steps: 1. If interested in participating email Rigo at rigo@w3.org. If he doesn't respond email him again (his words..) 2. Sub-group [Task force] to explore questions and issues. May have separate meetings. 3. Kick off discussion with in person workshop that would include regulators, and scoping that includes underlying technology issues and UI. Joanne
