Hi TPWG participants, Seeing limited conversation here, and no input from adopters of the technology, I lean toward not rechartering the group at this time, while continuing to track implementation and adoption. We can keep using the public-tracking mailing list and wikis, under the auspices of the Privacy Interest Group (PING, join for broader discussion, if you like, at https://www.w3.org/Privacy/). The CR documents we published will of course remain available for reference, implementation, and use: TPE: https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ TCS: https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-compliance/ If interest in DNT picks up, we can reopen the Working Group to complete the interop testing and editing necessary to take the specs forward to Recommendation. How does that sound? --Wendy On 07/01/2016 07:39 AM, Matthias Schunter (Intel Corporation) wrote: > Hi Folks, > > > thanks for the positive responses.
