Re: Issue-22, possible other direction

Rob,
otherParty is not a good replacement for Ads.txt for the following reasons:
- Carries more information that is ad industry specific- List is limited to only ad inventory partners - doesn't list other 3rd parties on the page
This is a publisher working directly with the ad ecosystem to declare those that should be allowed to participate in a bid prior to it taking place and is specifically made available for the ad call event.
As your stated purpose of otherParties is purely for consumer transparency (not automated blocking) it doesn't require the same level of detail, can include many other 3rd parties that are not specific to ad serving (such as analytics, video players, widgets, etc.), and doesn't need to be machine readable as a human is the intended recipient for consent consideration.

RE: Issue-22, possible other directionHi Shane, David,

My proposal is in fact not far from the machine readable ads.txt file proposed by the IAB Tech Lab OpenRTB Working Group. (https://iabtechlab.com/ads-txt/).The otherParties property could eliminate the need fot the ads.txt file. We could make the content of the otherParties property useful such that it is fit for purpose for specific consent as well as  minimizing data leakage that will help against domain spoofing and other types of ad fraud/malvertising. Please let me know if we should explore this further.

Hi Shane,

we can use this as your text proposal (i.e. only the field syntax is
changed from array to URL). If you  want to propose something else, feel
free to do so ASAP.

Thanks a lot!
