+1, and also in light of the example Data Processor agreement linked to from
their press release it looks like Dr Dix could give important input into our
debate on the TPC service-provider text

Subject: we need discussion, Dr. Dix letter, paper
Dr. Dix, as you know, is the chair of the very important privacy body known
as the Berlin Group. I believe the letter and paper is intended to tell the
WC3 WG that any DNT spec must address respect for context, ensure actual
purpose limitation, provide user transparency and--critically-real control.
Dr. Dix, I believe from my reading, also says that for a DNT regime to be
effective, there cannot be such techniques as fingerprinting used.
I urge the group to invite Dr. Dix or his representative to speak to us as
soon as possible, so we can discuss what leading privacy DPAs intended us to
consider prior to Last Call.
I suggest that Peter and Matthias invite Dr. Dix to our next call.
