Re: European Demand for DNT

Hi Mike,


thanks a lot for the further information (and sorry if I did not relay
Rob's info correctly)!

My goal is to assess overall demand and benefits for our DNT
recommendations.
In particular in the EU under the envisioned changes to the regulatory
landscape.

The resulting questions are:
- What are the likely near- and mid-term regulations that may impact DNT
- How could DNT help to make compliance easier for companies under
different regulatory scenarios
- If DNT helps, how can we get the companies to represent themselves in
our WG and say so ;-)

One idea that was discussed before was to use the exception API to
maintain consent (if required).
A subsequent question is then how to debug/fine-tune our standards to
these emerging EU requirements.

Further input is welcome!

Regards,
matthias
