Re: ISSUE-198: Define new word for yellow state due to the fact that the process of de-identification spans all three states (red,yellow and green).

Shane,
I'm not sure I follow how raw data equates with pseudonymous data.  Could you please point me to definitions you're using so I can better understand what you mean here.
Thanks,
John

Similarly, yellow data meets the definition of de-identified in both the FTC and DAA contexts - whereas "Unlinked" is a bit more debatable.

This is similarly true of the color scheme proposed due to the immediate traffic light connotations it invokes (green = good, yellow = caution, red = bad).  I was okay (not happy) with using colors in this manner but don't believe it's fair to over bias the definitions of each phase based on an overly conservative read of existing definitions.

The FTC text defines unlinkability in terms of de-identification, which makes the term de-identified applicable for the green state. The DAA text Due to the fact that the process of de-identification spans up to the green state when data is considered unlinkable, I would like to propose a new term for the yellow domain.
