Subject: Privacy compliance in EU using W3C Tracking Protection...


Dear W3C Members,


the W3C Tracking Protection Working group (TPWG
https://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/) proposed W3C draft
recommendations  that allow users to express preferences whether to
constrain or allow web-tracking and web-sites to respond ("Tracking
Preference Expression"; https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/) as well as
guidance for web-sites how to implement a desire for reduced tracking
("Tracking Compliance and Scope";
https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-compliance/).

We believe that both standards can simplify compliance with upcoming EU
privacy regulations and we would like to invite the W3C EU Members to:
    1. Discuss current and emerging EU privacy regulations
    2. Provide feedback on the draft recommendations published by the
Tracking Protection Working Group
    3. Join our implementation effort and report implementation experiences
    4. Discuss with us the best way forward for the W3C Tracking
Protection Working Group

We invite you to join our breakout session at TPAC on Wednesday,
September 21 in Lisbon!

If you need any additional information, want to provide feedback, you
can email me at mts-std@schunter.org


Regards,
  Matthias Schunter, Intel Corp. (TPWG co-chair) on behalf of the W3C
Tracking Protection Working Group
