Issue-5 Proposal-7

I have a friendly amendment for Issue-5 Proposal-7. Replace "recognises"
with "assumes ". Recognition implies the truth is self-evident that is the
user is consciously allowing qualified tracking by visiting a site, when it
is not.

So it becomes:

In general terms, Tracking is the retention or use after a network
transaction is complete, or sharing, of data that is, or can be, associated
with a specific user, user agent, or device. 

However, this recommendation assumes that by choosing to visit a site, users
allow First Parties to retain and use tracking data they collect directly,
or indirectly via Service Providers (though there are restrictions on
sharing); and it allows Third Parties to claim permission to retain tracking
data under some specific conditions (e.g. for security, auditing, or for
deferred processing of raw data).

Subject: Re: Agenda for tomorrow, Issue-5 input, and regrets

I would like to nominate Proposal-7 for part of the call for objections to
Issue-5 (i.e. as a final candidate).


HOWEVER, the definition of tracking relies on two important questions:
1. the definition of the terms it uses, notably network
transaction/interaction, collect, retain, and share
2. a great deal depends on whether tracking is used in the normative text,
i.e. if we say 'third parties must stop tracking', or whether the
restrictions are written using other defined terms (e.g. third parties must
not collect data that can be associated…).  In the latter case, the
definition of tracking is merely setting the stage; in the former, it's
setting scope.

I think much of the debate between Roy and myself might concern question 2,
and I am not clear on it.  Is the group deciding to set the stage, or set
the scope, with this definition?  Will 'tracking' be used in normative text
in the specification, or not?

It's also going to be hard to agree on this before cleaning up (at least)
'network transaction', and maybe collect, retain, and share.

I hope this helps.


My apologies for the call;  I am required to chair a session at the MPEG
meeting (Geneva).
