[minutes] Web Advertising BG, 31 January

Hi Web Advertising BG,

Draft minutes from this week's call are posted at
 https://www.w3.org/2019/01/31-web-adv-minutes.html
the next call will be in two weeks, Thursday, 14 February.

It sounds as though one conversation is converging around the challenge
of fraud-resistant, privacy-preserving measurement. Mike's Ad Metrics[1]
and Wendell's proposed Media Visibility work respond to this challenge.
As I hear it, as it's becoming harder (legally and practically) to
collect measurement via third-party cookies and tracking, a
privacy-preserving alternative might be able to provide more reliable data.

Another related conversation is on the grouping of related domains or
indication of authorization or delegation, e.g. what's a
"related-party," connecting apps and web, or who's authorized to place
ads. Mike O'Neill's Server Declaration[2], Mike West's First Party
Sets[3], and IAB TechLab's app-ads.txt[4] offer suggestions in this regard.

I look forward to continued discussion, here, in github, and on calls.
Did I miss any major threads?
