RE: fyi: European Demand for DNT

I have booked in for TPAC middle 3 days, though not air tickets yet. I will
be there if others are going.

Hi Jeff,

 

 

thanks for your quick response! To be honest: I have not 100% decided
whether I can make TPAC (and you caught me at it) ;-)


I agree that such a discussion would be worthwhile. Ideally, I would like to
obtain some indication of potential interest before deciding whether to
reschedule my other travels to make room for attending TPAC.




Could you and/or Wendy advise me how to best make it happen? 

The best option seems to me to propose a breakout session for wednesday,
right? Are there other preferred options?
Is there a list to which I could send a "call for participation" to collect
expressions of interest?

  

Regards,

 

Matthias

Hi Team, 


one point we discussed during our last call was whether the EU landscape 
changes and whether TPE may play a key role to simplify compliance with 
the changing EU landscape. 

I had an interesting discussion with Rob. What I learned is that the EU 
regulators are currently pushing for more informed consent and that the 
current "implied consent" for tracking and cookies may soon go away. 
Another topic will be machine-managed and readable consent to simplify 
consent handingl 

Regulations that are upcoming (Rob: Please correct me if I remembered 
correctly): 
- 2018 E Privacy Regulation (replacing the 1995 privacy directive by one 
EU-wide regulation) 
- 2019 Cookie Regulation (replacing the 2009 cookie directive by one 
EU-wide regulation) 
     In September, a first draft will be published. 

If web-site owners agree with these observations, then there should be 
increasing demand for DNT (or other approaches for handling consent). 

What I am now looking for is: 
- Input from EU players whether they are indeed concerned on how to 
handle automated consent 
- Further requirements how W3C TPWG can simplify compliance in the EU 
- Additional members of our WG that can represent this perspective and 
requirements (ideally from an end-user perspective). 
- I may try to visit the TPAC in Lisbon to gather more inputs. 

I will try to reach out to IAB Europe (I will also discuss with EFF to 
get their input on using TPE for expressing compliance with EFF rules). 

Formally, I would like to postpone the re-charter discussion into 
October to have more data as input for this decision (e.g. one input 
will be the draft EU cookie regulation published in September). 

Any inputs, suggestions, feedback are welcome! 


All that makes sense to me. 

But it leaves out what item that we discussed at the last call.  I thought
you were going to assemble the major European players at TPAC (since it is
in Lisbon, so they will be there already) and use that meeting to assess the
common understanding of the need for DNT.  Your comment above ("I may visit
TPAC") sounds like the idea of a major discussion in TPAC has been dropped.
Do I understand correctly?
