Re: tracking-ISSUE-240 (Context): Do we need to define context? [Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)]

I created a wiki page with text proposals for ISSUE-240:
http://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Proposals_on_the_definition_of_context

Currently, only Roy's initial text proposal is listed.

Rob, as you suggested a completely different approach (rather user 
expectation than relation to party/branding) in your email from December 
18, could you work on an text proposal to add to the wiki page?

For example, something along the lines of: "For the purpose of this definition, a context is a set of resources that share the same data controller, same privacy policy, and a common branding, such that a user would expect that data collected by one of those resources is available to all other resources within the same context."
