The World Wide Web Consortium is sponsoring a workshop to discuss emerging and future applications of P3P, and get feedback on what additional specification or coordination efforts might be necessary to support them. We are inviting position papers that discuss either technology or policy considerations (or both) for the future of P3P. The results of this workshop will inform W3C's decision making on future P3P-related efforts, stimulate discussions of new applications of P3P that are possible based on the current P3P specification, and facilitate coordination with organizations engaged in related efforts.
The Platform for Privacy Preferences 1.0 (P3P1.0) was released as a W3C Recommendation on 16 April 2002. Already, P3P1.0 has been implemented in two major browsers, a proxy service, a browser add-on, and other user agent software. In addition, several P3P policy generator and editor tools are available, and tools to track P3P usage are being integrated into Web site privacy policy management systems. Besides the existing P3P tools, a variety of other P3P tools and services have been proposed. As Web sites adopt P3P, limitations have been discovered and new features are being suggested for possible inclusion in P3P1.x or P3P2.0.
P3P1.0 includes an extension mechanism that allows for new features to be added to P3P without necessitating a new version of the specification. However, not all new features may be supported by this mechanism. In addition, even if the extension mechanism is used to add new features, there may be benefits to coordination around the use of this mechanism or other efforts to augment the functionality of P3P1.0.
The workshop will discuss technology and policy considerations for the future of P3P including new features or applications of P3P, technical problems with P3P1.0, policy goals that P3P may help address, requirements unmet by P3P1.0, and legal or policy questions that have arisen as a result of P3P implementation. A workshop expected in early 2003 will focus on longer-term P3P-related research and advanced development.
To help prepare for discussions at the workshop and to continue discussions following the workshop, we invite discussions on the P3P public mailing list. To subscribe, send mail to public-p3p-ws-request@w3.org and put the word "subscribe" in the subject line. A public archive of this list is available at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-p3p-ws/.
The workshop is expected to result in the following deliverables:
These will be published on the workshop home page.
We expect several communities to contribute to the workshop:
Position papers are the basis for the discussion at the workshop. These papers will also be made available to the public from the W3C Web site. We are inviting position papers that discuss either technology or policy considerations (or both) for the future of P3P.
Technology papers should propose a new feature or application of P3P or identify a technical problem with P3P1.0. They should explain how the new feature or application might be achieved technically, or how the technical problem might be addressed. New features proposed may enable P3P to function better in new application contexts such as mobile Web access systems. Papers may also propose features be added to further integrate P3P with other W3C standards under development and with technologies under development in other organizations. Papers proposing new features or applications should also discuss the following: Can this new feature or application be implemented within the existing P3P1.0 framework? If so, is there any need to coordinate this? Would this new feature or application benefit from additions or changes to the P3P1.0 specification? Technology papers should also briefly discuss the policy motivations for the new feature or application if relevant.
Policy papers should propose a new feature or application of P3P, identify a policy goal that P3P may help address, identify requirements that have gone unmet in the current P3P architecture, or discuss legal or policy questions that have arisen as a result of P3P implementation. Papers proposing new features or applications should discuss the policy, business, or other issues that motivate them, and include an evaluation of P3P1.0 with respect to a particular set of requirements. For example, a policy paper might point to specific regulatory frameworks that could benefit from P3P for which the current P3P vocabulary is inadequate. If possible, policy papers should briefly discuss how the new feature or application might be achieved technically and answer the questions posed for technology papers.
All papers should be 1 to 5 pages, although they may link to longer versions or appendixes. Papers should indicate what, if any, work has already been done towards developing a new feature or application, and any companies or organizations that are willing to commit resources towards this effort.
Position papers will be published on the public Web pages of the workshop, so position papers and slides of presentations must be available for public dissemination. Submitting a position paper comprises a default recognition of these terms for publication. Allowed formats are HTML/XHTML, PDF, or ASCII. Papers in any other formats will be returned with a request for correct formatting. Good examples of position papers can be seen in the QL'98 workshop.
The Program Committee may ask the authors of particularly salient position papers to explicitly present their position at the workshop to foster discussion. Presenters will also make the slides of the presentation available on the workshop Web home page.
Position papers must be submitted via email to member-p3p-submissions@w3.org no later than 30 September 2002.
