We have just announced the Call for Participation for an upcoming privacy workshop: http://www.w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws/ From the call for participation: [[ As the Web advances toward becoming an application development platform that addresses needs previously met by native applications, work proceeds on APIs to access information that was previously not available to Web developers. The broad availability of possibly sensitive data collected through location sensors and other facilities in a Web browser is just one example of the broad new privacy challenges that the Web faces today. Security considerations and design choices for sensitive APIs were the topic of the December 2008 W3C Workshop on Security for Access to Device APIs for the Web (report). Following up to that workshop, the Device API and Policy Working Group was chartered. Earlier approaches to address privacy issues for the Web, especially through policy languages, have not seen broad implementation in current-generation Web browsers. This workshop serves to investigate strategies toward better privacy protection on the Web that are effective and lead to benefits in the near term. ]] The workshop will be held in London on 12/13 July, hosted by Vodafone. Position papers are due 1 June. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Thomas Roessler <tlr@w3.org>. Thanks, Rigo -------------------------------------------------------
