ISSUE 208 (Unknowing Collection of Data)

On the call last week, there did not appear to be any interest in revising the existing Editors' Draft Text on this issue:

8. Unknowing Collection
If a party learns that it possesses data in violation of this recommendation, it must, where reasonably feasible, delete or de-identify that data at the earliest practical opportunity, even if it was previously unaware of such information practices despite reasonable efforts to understand its information practices.

Jonathan Mayer had previously proposed language that was (arguably) more restrictive; however, no one spoke up to support that proposal (available here: http://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Change_Proposal_Unknowing).

If no one wants to argue for this or a different change proposal, we will close this issue out in two weeks' time.
