Hi Team, during the last TPE call, we discussed ISSUE-194. One goal of ISSUE-194 is to ensure that sites reliably receive valid DNT signals. Without such a mechanism, there is a risk that a multitude of things spray DNT;1 signals (antivirus, network devices, operating systems, ...; often without user interaction). As a consequence, sites can no longer reasonably by required to listen to those signals. We agreed that separating noise from signals is a valid concern and there were concerns whether there exists any solution that satisfies our goals. If we could reliably distinguish between valid user preferences/choice and noise from other entities on the net, then this allows sites to actually reliably act on user preferences while "D"isregarding the noise. As part of discussing this further, I would like to issue a call for proposals. The question is what mechanisms are envisioned that allow sites to (more) reliably separate noise from preferences. Any proposals (as responses) are welcome. My goal is to then discuss and compare thes proposals to understand whether they help sites with this concern. Regards, matthias
