RE: Batch closing of issues (ISSUE-144, ISSUE-187, ISSUE-190, ISSUE-173, ISSUE-138) [pls Respond by Jan 30]

Jonathan,

To your points, I believe the middle-ground it appears many agreed to (from both sides - at least at the last F2F and recent calls/IRC) was:

- Consent:  keep the need for explicit consent but don’t define this in granular terms (cuts both ways from an activation / exception perspective)
- Exceptions and UAs:  allow exceptions to be directly recorded but allow UAs to optionally build verifications systems if they so desire

If you disagree with these concessions from both sides, please let the group know.

Thank you,
- Shane

Participants from the advertising industry have raised objections about standards for consent in the new model.  Advocacy group members have expressed concerns about removing browser chrome from the exception user experience.  It seems apparent that we do not have a consensus in favor of the new approach.

Hi Jonathan,


I believe that we agree to focus on this new approach:
- Many participants expressed preference for the new approach (while saying that some fine-tuning is still required)
- All participants "can live with" this new approach

From a privacy perspective, IMHO it is beneficial that user agents can validate exceptions
with the actual user and can keep an (editable) database of all granted exceptions. Also - due to the fact that less
requirements are imposed on the UA - I believe that UAs can compete and differentiate more effectively with this new approach.

Opinions?

Regards,
matthias

IMHO, the new approach to exceptions has removed the requirements on the user agent.
As a consequence, I believe we can close this issue.
