RE: Issues for Monday Call

European Data Protection law has definite requirements for the information made available to users. In my opinion the TSR is the best place for these elements because a) they are not only required when consent is given, or when it is the legal basis for processing, and b) the TSR is more accessible to privacy researchers, regulators and browser extensions (if it was only available to the API we would need to add another API to report them).

They need not be mandatory in the TPE (though the simple string name property for controllers should be in my opinion), so why not put them in as a non-normative Addendum describing them as examples of TSR extensibility.

I have assembled my suggestions in a document (in the repo drafts folder):
