Batch closing of old issues

Working group:  As you know, we are wrapping up our work on the TCS in
advance of deciding whether to move to Last Call.  At this point, the
Chairs do not intend to resolve any remaining issues prior to Last Call.  A
handful will remain designated as "Compliance Next" or "Global
Considerations" for reconsideration in the future; the remaining we propose
to batch close as duplicative of issues we've previously closed in other
issues, resolved but awaiting group review, or otherwise superseded by
events.  (The vast majority of these have been marked PENDING REVIEW for
some time).  Here are the specific issues we propose to close prior to
making a decision on Last Call (I tried to add notes to the issue tracker
to provide some more background in case you're interested):

ISSUE-24 (Possible exemption for fraud detection and defense) --- closed by
consensus
ISSUE-25 (How is audience measurement addressed under DNT) --- closed by
call for objections

use of a particular exemption?) --- closed by consensus (and superseded by

call for objections

The following issues will not be closed but maintained as Compliance Next

ISSUE-183 (Additional Tk header status value for EU)
ISSUE-189 (Explicit informed consent mechanism needed (EUConsent))
ISSUE-214 (adding to last public working draft) --- we'll keep this open as
a placeholder that there may be language from the previous TCS that we may
want to port to new document (such as non-normative text)
ISSUE-223 (define criteria now for the rest/implementation phase of the
compliance spec) --- this is more appropriately addressed at the time when
we would move TCS from LC to CR

Please respond to the group if you have any questions, concerns, or
objections to this course of action.
