Re: new charter

Other edits to come post our WG call but I would immediately suggest changing:
"The working group does not plan to prescribe a specific approach/policy for web-sites to respect a user’s preference, but will contrast the Tracking Compliance and Scope (TCS) document with at least one other compliance approach that is consistent with the TPE and publish a report on this in a non-normative WG Note. The TCS will be put into maintenance mode – i.e. we will continue to collect feedback and implementation experiences on the Tracking Compliance Specification that is currently in Candidate Recommendation state, but be prepared, if it is adopted by one or more sites, to progress it to a final Recommendation."

Attempting to "contrast" the EFF approach to the TCS approach is likely to be highly disagreement prone with little value back to the working group.  Adding links to both the TCS draft and the EFF policy as examples of possible approaches should cover the need and not introduce too much controversy into the group.  Fair?

The TCS will be put into maintenance mode – i.e. we will continue to collect feedback and implementation experiences on the Tracking Compliance Specification that is currently in Candidate Recommendation state, but be prepared, if it is adopted by one or more sites, to progress it to a final Recommendation.  Success Criteria / Goals { minor edits & add WG note }  • Production of stable Recommendation-track specification for the Tracking Preference Expression (TPE) • The revised TPE will be aligned with emerging EU privacy regulations and other proposed compliance documents.• Production of a non-normative WG note describing and contrasting the TCS and at least 1 other known compliance approach that uses the TPE building blocks. • Stretch Goal: We can demonstrate how that TPE can simplify privacy compliance in the EU.• Stretch Goal: Endorsement by some EU regulators.  Deliverables { add WG Note }  A WG non-normative Note describing and contrasting 2 or more compliance approaches.      -----Original Message-----From: Matthias Schunter (Intel Corporation) [mailto:mts-std@schunter.org] Sent: 24 October 2016 09:37To: public-tracking@w3.orgSubject: Re: Revised Charter Proposal - Feedback by Oct 26  Hi Folks,  thanks a lot for the lively discussion!  The intended goal stated in the charter is that the TPE should define"not tracking" (i.e. the objective we want to achieve) and a minimal setof definitions.There can be MANY ways to achieve this goal that can then be referencedsing the link to a compliance document..  If you require specific changes to the charter, I would need them ASAP.  Regards,matthias
