Some logistics for Thursday, January 17 -- please RSVP if attending in person

The discussion of de-identification will take place on Thursday, January
17 at the Center for Democracy & Technology, 1634 Eye street, N.W., in
Washington D.C., Suite 1100.  The event will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. eastern time.

The event will be scribed, and there will be a call-in number.  A more
detailed agenda will circulate prior to the meeting.  As discussed on the
last group call, there will be no normative decisions made at this
meeting.  A main goal is to clarify definitions, threat models, and
safeguards that are relevant to delinking and de-identification. I am
hopeful that this descriptive effort will help foster a more effective
discussion, with more clarity about terms and use cases.

If you plan to attend in person, it would be most helpful if you could
send an email indicating so to Yianni Lagos at ylagos@futureofprivacy.org.
 As we learn the numbers who wish to attend, we will determine whether we
will need to seek a larger location.

Kind thanks to CDT for hosting.

Peter

P.S. I offer an apology for my clumsiness and lack of experience with some
aspects of W3C procedure in setting up this discussion.

As you know, we missed three weeks of Wednesday calls that, under normal
scheduling, would have enabled us to discuss how to best proceed. In an
attempt to move the process forward efficiently during the holiday break,
I continued to meet / speak with everyone who wished to do so, and planned
for the next step of the January 17 meeting. I now understand this process
wasn't ideal, but with your help, we'll continue to make progress on our
work together.
