Re: ISSUE-153 Consensus

Thanks Bryan.

I respectfully request that Bryan’s proposal be added to ISSUE-153 as “no change”  in the same manner a “no change” proposal has been added to Issue-241.

See as example: http://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Proposals_on_elements_for_1and3_party_use 

Rationale: Option A is not currently designated as a “no change” proposal.

Best regards,

Jack

Unfortunately, the way Option A is currently worded, an objection against Option A would be an objection against the existing text and not an objection against not changing the existing text.

As we can assume that there would always be existing text, doesn't the decision policy presume that the competition would be against two proposals with authors independent of,  or accepting credit for, the existing text if that is to be an option?

It was understanding from the January 15th call [1] that at least Sid Stamm and Walter van Holst preferred the existing text, and did not want to make the quasi-legal assertion that user agents bear joint responsibility for the behavior of add-ons.  Moreover, there did not appear to be overwhelming support for the new language --- as far as I can tell, only David, Shane, and Brad argued for it.  Moreover, Brad did not object to proceed for a Call for Objections after the call. [2]

Otherwise, we will have to evaluate the relative strength of the objections.  If we wanted to just announce closure of the issue at this point, we would have to wait two additional weeks anyway to see if there were objections to closing by agreement.  We have managed to close some issues without a CfO in recent weeks, and I hope we can do more of that!  But given that we've already established a firm deadline for obtaining feedback on this issue, I'm reluctant to reopen the procedure.
