Re: new charter

Any reason the scope does not include industry and advocates?

Here is my 2 cents for the new charter. I took out the TPL references but left in the possibility for browsers or extensions to enforce DNT.


Tracking Protection Working Group Charter

The mission of the Tracking Protection Working Group, is to improve user privacy and user control by defining mechanisms for sites to declare any Web tracking policy and for users to express general and site specific user control preferences, enabling user agents or others to verifiably block or allow clearly identified Web tracking elements based on transparent indications of users' freely given, easily revocable, specific and informed consent.

Scope

The Working Group will work with regulators and others to ensure that the building blocks in the Tracking Preference and Expression document meet the requirements of relevant legislation such as the European General Data Protection Regulation, and produce studies that report on at least one live implementation of it.

The Working Group will finalise the document and manage its transition to a full recommendation.

Success Criteria
Production of stable Recommendation-track specification.
Adoption of deliverables by user agents and compliance by industry.

Out of Scope
While guidelines that define the user experience or user interface may be useful (and within scope), the Working Group will not specify the exact presentation to the user.

Deliverables
The group expects to publish the following documents consistent with the above scope. The titles of the documents are indicative only.
Tracking Preference Expression (Do Not Track), Recommendation.
Implementation Report(s) on live use of the TPE
Implementation Guide to complying with European Privacy and Data Protection law.
The Working Group may also publish guides for implementation and compliance by user agents and Web sites.

Testing
The Working Group may publish test suites for technical specifications or reports evaluating compliance.

Milestones
Implementation Reports by May 2017
Implementation Guide by July 2017
TPE to be full recommendation by Sept 2017
