att.yahoo.com (is one example of a multi-first party / co-controller scenario). - Shane -----Original Message----- From: Roy T. Fielding [mailto:fielding@gbiv.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2013 10:12 AM To: Dobbs, Brooks Cc: David Singer; Tracking Protection Working Group Subject: Re: tracking-ISSUE-190: Sites with multiple first parties [Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)] No, that is not what we are talking about. Multiple first parties occur when two different brands exist on the same site, like att.yahoo.net (or was that yahoo.att.net?) with the clear understanding that users are interacting with both companies when providing data to that site. There are other potential cases of "joint data controllers" in the EU sense, but the one we are trying to solve here is the multiple first party problem. ....Roy On Jan 9, 2013, at 6:52 AM, Dobbs, Brooks wrote: > David, > > Let me suggest a common example that illustrates the complexity you > are looking for.
