Goals and Procedures

Hi Folks,


thanks a lot for the productive discussion during yesterday's call.
It is nice to actually start closing issues and progress towards our
goal of a stable final draft.

What I realized (since time is short) is that we should constrain
ourselves on a minimal spec that is good enough.

What this means:
- We should focus on helping EU compliance
- We should improve implementability
- We should try to abstain from fundamental redesigns and
  substantial new features.

What does this mean for the group?

I suggest we focus only on substantial concerns backed by evidence. This
means that we should focus on issues that:
- Substantially simplify or improve implementation.
  Evidence could be implementation experiences/reports.
  (e.g. Mike stating that it is useful for a site to receive a call-back
        is in this category).
- Substantially help EU enterprises to manage opt-in for compliance
  Evidence could be enterprise/site feedback or regulator requirements.
  (e.g. Rob saying that the Javascript exception API is
   essential for managing opt-in and should be kept is in
   this category).
- Are required by W3C to reach recommendation state

As indicated, the goal is to deliver  a "good enough" TPE in time and
ideally simple enough to be widely implemented. Ideally, I would hope
that no other changes are required at this point.

Does everyone agree with this procedure? Any feeback or objections?



Regards,
 matthias
