Adding a link in the Privacy policy -AND- allowing for a well-known URI address for this information? 16:41:24 jchester2: people have to know and understand the relationships. at the moment it is not designed this way. privacy policies don't work. 16:41:27 Yes, susanisrael, I meant to get to that. 16:41:39 Justin, thanks. 16:41:41 ... discoverability needs to be designed and tested with real users. 16:42:10 +q 16:42:36 we need to set up a team, independent academics, to figure out how to convey this information 16:42:59 sorry, this was meant as jchester's quote 16:43:00 q? 16:43:05 zakim, mute me 16:43:05 jchester2 should now be muted 16:43:05 Won't the academic approach add many months to the timeline to determine this single issue? If we do this for each issue we're about 5 years away from DNT v1. :-) 16:43:08 ack fielding 16:43:14 s/we need to/jchester: we need to/ 16:43:32 q? 16:43:35 fielding: the language I suggested does not say how to do it. 16:43:42 Let's test using how a user can address what happens with Adobe Audience mamager, for example 16:44:00 ... this depends on who and how knowledgeable the user is. 16:44:13 WileyS, yeah, postponing on research would be harmful for the schedule. maybe we could add this as a condition of Last Call: to do tests of implementation once we have them 16:44:34 WileyS, don't even! 16:45:16 jchester2, if the concern is over usability testing of implementations, we could start on a plan now for doing the testing once we reach Last Call or a Call for Implementations 16:45:17 q? 16:45:21 q+ 16:45:47 We have a responsibility to global Internet users to create the best effective approach to deliver a DNT system. 16:45:58 ack chris 16:45:58 ack ChrisPedigoOPA 16:46:03 q? 16:46:20 …agrees with Roy that mandating visual design is beyond our scope, but that Privacy Policy + WKR is good 16:46:29 Nick. I agree we should start a plan for testing all this. We should pull together an international team of experts 16:46:40 ack npdoty 16:46:42 susan? 16:46:44 zakim, mute me 16:46:44 npdoty should now be muted 16:46:50 scribenick: ChrisPedigoOPA 16:46:52 nick, I can scribe if you want 16:46:57 scribenick: susanisrael 16:46:57 Thanks to Ninja for scribing!" 16:47:19 ninjamarnau_ has joined #dnt 16:47:28 chris pedigo: would like additional flexibility for companies to talk about actual affiliates or brands. there are different ways to education users 16:47:33 I forgot to clarify also: if we want to restrict the Oct 1 publication to purely editorial changes, then we can fix the definition as I described and add the must-link-from-every-page requirement to the section on First Party. 16:48:01 thanks susanisrael. You want me to take over again? 16:48:08 justin: we will get to david w's proposal. An additional idea we had talked about was that there will probably not be multiple first parties. Roy had objections on 3 grounds. 16:48:28 Multiple 1st party will need to be supported - the question is the bar of disclosure / visibility to users. 16:50:02 justin: .....one was "service providers." another was that people are trying to interact with more than one resource at once. (search on fried bunnies example from roy's email's). Roy--is the first concern or the second 16:50:07 more important... 16:50:37 [sorry-gap in scribing] roy: users do try to interact with more than one party. ex. when you hit a link on google.com 16:51:07 justin: good example. can you put into change proposal? david also had a different definition of party. describe? 16:51:09 ack dwainberg 16:51:54 Can we spend some time talking about this multiple first party issue? I am concerned that given the cross platform user tracking, the integration of wide ranging partners etc, that a huge privacy loophole is being created. 16:51:54 issue-10? 16:51:54 issue-10 -- What is a first party? -- open 16:51:54 http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/10 16:52:03 davidwainberg: my email explained it. Main point was that ownership on its own is not a great factor for judging/crafting a privacy policy around. I'd rather see something that makes more sense for privacy and is more equitable for competition 16:52:07 dwainberg: ownership on its own is not a great factor for judging a privacy policy - and he'd rather see somethign that makes more sense for privacy and is more equitable for competition. 16:52:53 justin: so if you go to ny times and ad network on site, and ad networks on site. They and other publishers are all iab members. would they all be one party? 16:53:26 is this the email we are discussing? 16:53:31 What is the alternative to "ownership" that david proposes? 16:53:33 davidwainberg: looking at ownership alone does not mean user understands who that is or what policies apply. so that's a poor measure for privacy. 16:54:00 justin, dsinger, http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2013Sep/0128.html 16:54:00 oh. try http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2013Sep/0128.html 16:54:02 +q 16:54:04 dwainberg: common set of rules is better for privacy. 16:54:10 zakim, unmute me 16:54:10 jchester2 should no longer be muted 16:54:25 dwainberg: don't know whether saying all third parties are iab members would be adequate. 16:54:29 'common ownership and common control' - 'control' here implies the same privacy structure represented to users 16:54:37 I thought ownership was one condition, but not the entire set of conditions, for being a party which shares data with its affiliates 16:54:52 -rachel_n_thomas 16:54:56 justin: with your criticism of ownership test you are echoing some of jeff's concerns about discoverability. it's a novel concept 16:55:14 justin: can you try to put this into normative text with the argumentation around it. 16:55:15 +1 to Shane: there are two problems here; is this 'one responsibility' (common owner) and is there 'a single set of rules'? (common policy) 16:55:25 @wileys - we may need a better definition of common control 16:55:34 +1 to dsinger 16:56:21 justin: it sounded like you weren't entirely clear yourself about how parties should be treated in that context. pls provide normative text by oct 2 16:56:30 ack jchester 16:57:08 q? 16:57:13 jeffchester2: haven't been on list but what is multiple first party concept? need to see that in writing so we can analyze it. Are people proposing that here, that there would be multiple first parties in a transaction. 16:57:14 Jeff - there are limited situations where more than one first party could exist - att.yahoo.com 16:57:21 jchester2, there is a paragraph on multiple first parties in the draft, if you want to look at concrete text: http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/drafts/tracking-compliance.html#first-party 16:57:25 justin: att-yahoo example is one instance 16:57:27 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2013Sep/0102.html 16:57:31 Considerable amount of text here already 16:57:42 I have already 16:57:47 q+ 16:58:06 jeffchester2: i want to see it in writing, because there are chaning relationships/further integration, want to understand what people supporting this are asking for so we understand what it means. 16:58:45 google.com 16:59:09 jeffchester2: i want to take this offline, but we are all pressed and i would like to have real examples. information is vague and indecipherable and a possible huge loophole. 16:59:53 q- 16:59:54 It's a one paragraph example, based on common search services. 16:59:54 justin: share concerns but one example i had not previously considered is google search results 17:00:06 jeffchester2: we have to think about all the products and examples. 17:00:51 jeffchester2: paid or organic search? 17:00:56 -Peder_Magee 17:00:56 fielding: does not matter 17:01:13 I think Rob Sherman's emails from several months ago might provide detailed examples of platforms that host other content (which is where we got text about co-branding, etc.) 17:01:17 jeffchester2: does, in terms of company's ability to further its data collection goals. 17:01:36 fielding: normal search results from google have links back to google. 17:01:42 I remember jmayer (pour some out) also used brands on Tumblr as an example. 17:02:12 Isn't that a first party interaction when they click? 17:02:15 Wouldn't the "click" represent a "meaningful interaction" thus moving what would have been a 3rd party on that page into the 1st party role? I think we already handle this issue. 17:02:24 ....we have to decide whether user is interacting with google or final destination of link. It's reasonable to consider this as an example where user is aware of google and the final destination. 17:02:35 Heather +1 (great minds think alike :-) ) 17:02:43 all the user wants is not to be tracked - by anyone (if they have set DNT) 17:02:44 jeffchester2: this discussion stretches reality in terms of average user experience. 17:03:30 +1 to WileyS 17:03:40 matthias: no one ever said that in this scenario the other party should be considered first party. all google knows in first party context is that user clicked link, then the other party is first party..... 17:03:43 +BerinSzoka 17:03:46 jchester2, I think it is reasonable to be concerned about an exception that swallows the rule. Any normative text should absolutely be scrutinized with that in mind (I think I'm allowed to say that as chair :) ) 17:03:47 zakim, mute me 17:03:47 jchester2 should now be muted 17:03:48 q? 17:04:01 jeffchester2: i need to understand data sharing in this arrangement when dnt is in effect. 17:04:06 moneill2 - some users may have that intent but I don't believe you can speak for all users who use DNT today. Its up to this group to define what DNT means and then help users understand how this works. If users want something more, they always have other options available to them. 17:04:23 - +1.650.465.aavv 17:04:38 justin: issue 10 and related are up for anyone who wants to provide normative text at a moment, and we have already made a lot of assignments. 17:04:43 I agree. I would like to hear from Google, Yahoo, Microsoft. 17:04:45 q? 17:04:47 I think what Jeff is highlighting here is that most users are not doing to understand the distinctions we are drawing in this group 17:04:52 matthias: would like to understand how google would like this to work. 17:04:54 My only goal in suggesting this change is that the document we produce not be logically incorrect regarding an actual Web use case. It can be fixed one way or the other, only one of which will be implemented in reality. 17:05:10 justin: i think roy described what they might say, but others can work on own or with Roy 17:05:25 q? 17:06:03 justin: i think we did a good job talking about some of the issues, and it helped me. Let's let matthias talk about tracking for a bit. 17:06:06 ISSUE-5? 17:06:06 ISSUE-5 -- What is the definition of tracking? -- open 17:06:06 http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/5 17:06:11 Topic: Review of Status of ISSUE-5 17:06:11 the actual change here is s/the/a/ (twice, in one sentence) 17:06:15 http://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Change_Proposal_Tracking_Definition 17:06:26 Alan - Aleecia's research showed that users actually do understand the difference between a 1st party and a 3rd party. They didn't understand how data collection though worked the same/differently between them. 17:06:39 schunter: we have like 6 different proposals re: tracking definition, one of which is that we don't need to define it at all. Latest proposal is form roy. 17:06:45 fielding, yes, thank you, your proposals were very helpful. 17:07:04 .....latest draft definition (reads it) and roy made a detailed proposal to change this. 17:07:11 q? 17:07:28 I proposed a definition to establish the scope of what we are talking about. Data that is not "tracking" is not our concern. 17:07:59 dsinger, I don't have a change proposal from you on that wiki page -- do you want to submit something on that? 17:08:00 fielding: why do we need a definition? the way http works header fields define a preference from sender, in this case "not to be tracked" and what "tracking" means. that's most important detail 17:08:12 WileyS - didn't realize you were such a fan of the expectations research (: 17:08:13 dsinger, In the pre-June editors' draft, "tracking" was defined in the scope document (instead of in the definitions, as it was not an operative term within the standard.) 17:08:16 ....for http. determines if semantics on both sides are being honored. 17:08:24 Ah, yes, I will submit a 'no change' proposal, probably. 17:08:38 fielding: you can see in formal specs for http and also in actual behavior of http implementations 17:08:41 s/document/section/ 17:09:03 ...a business might say if i get dnt 1 i will not track user but we have to know what that means. 17:09:16 I think in fieldings definition the problem of definition is just shifted from "tracking" to "following" 17:09:17 q+ 17:09:51 fileding: that's the reason to define. in my experience as protocol developer you can't have http header without defining semantics 17:09:51 OK, thanks. 17:09:59 justin: ok in intro to document? 17:10:15 fielding: ok with location up front. prefer in scope or first sentence. 17:10:16 Alan - not a "fan" persay, but hearing that users actually understood the difference between 1st party and 3rd party was a surprise to me as I would have thought the average user wouldn't understand this. 17:10:19 ack dsinger 17:10:21 q? 17:10:36 dsinger: agree with roy mostly also if you are doing something outside tracking then your behavior is not our concern. 17:11:07 ....later in document you may find permitted use or exemption but still narrowing field of data we need to worry about helps us and reader undrestand what is in scope. 17:11:08 Anyone disagree? 17:11:21 +1 17:11:24 q? 17:11:27 Shane -- do you think users understand affiliates? 17:11:28 schunter: does anyone on call feel we should not define tracking? 17:11:36 I don't think we should define it 17:11:40 I continue believe that a definition is unnecessary... 17:11:41 zakim, unmute me' 17:11:41 sorry, jchester2, I do not know which phone connection belongs to me' 17:11:44 I don't recall what the scope of 1st party was in that research. 17:11:52 schunter: jeffchester: why not? 17:11:59 jchester2, Would you be OK with language in the scope section saying what we're trying to accomplish here? :) 17:12:02 zakim, unmute me 17:12:02 jchester2 should no longer be muted 17:12:05 -RobMichael? 17:12:16 schunter: unnecessary does not explain if some people find it necessary. Is there harm in having the defintion. 17:12:21 npdoty_ has joined #dnt 17:12:28 David - I believe users understand that companies may own other companies. What I don't believe they understand is how that applies to online activities and/or where to find where that list exists for each company. That is why I support a well-known resource for this information. 17:12:32 jeffchester: it's complex so we shouldn't define it. 17:12:48 so tracking means you are on this call? 17:13:01 q+ 17:13:03 Jeff, we can't ask industry to stop doing something we can't define. "I know it when I see it" is a terrible definition 17:13:07 jeffchester: everyone on call knows what they do and i think we should make the companies responsible and i don't see how we can make narrow distinctions but then would need more time to respond. 17:13:13 We need an narrow definition for v1 or we'll never make progress in this group 17:13:22 q+ 17:13:25 zakim, mute me 17:13:25 jchester2 should now be muted 17:13:28 q? 17:13:29 -schunter 17:13:34 ack npdoty 17:13:36 I don't think the language I previously proposed (and that Roy has re-proposed) is narrow. But I'm also not sure it's in the Wiki (cc npdoty) 17:13:40 jeffchester2: i think people know what they are doing and they should respect standard and halt surveillance. would need time to define/evaluate 17:13:41 q? 17:13:42 also, no definition leaves it to each operator to define it themselves…not ideal 17:13:48 ack johnsimpson 17:13:49 q+ 17:13:54 justin can you take over for a minute? 17:13:54 q- 17:13:57 anybody there? hearing nothing 17:14:02 Yes. 17:14:07 is John muted? 17:14:14 David - I'm okay with operators defining for themselves too :-) 17:14:25 BerinSzoka has joined #DNT 17:14:31 I agree - we need a definition, and it should be narrow. However, I would caution the group to be careful about making decisions that have severe competive ramifications with marginal privacy gains 17:14:33 q? 17:14:43 I'm bumped off the call.Will call back 17:14:44 zakim, mute me 17:14:44 sorry, npdoty_, I do not know which phone connection belongs to you 17:14:44 vote not for a norrow but for a clear definition of what we want to address with the spec 17:14:49 -johnsimpson 17:14:52 I just want to point out that Jeff Chester didn't remotely come close to answering the question: why NOT define tracking 17:15:20 jeff: Matthias had asked whether anyone thought we should not define tracking. Jeffchester expressed concern that definition would be too narrow. Then right thing to do would be to submit 17:15:25 +johnsimpson 17:15:34 q+ 17:15:39 ack je 17:15:41 q? 17:15:47 ....change proposal that you are more comfortable with and group could decide which is better. 17:15:53 I would rather the industry propose their own definition of tracking--so we can examine what they actually do and have a public debate. 17:16:05 q+ 17:16:20 justin: roy had said some time before that proposed language was not terrible (strong praise) so jeff and industry could look at that previously proposed definition 17:16:27 ack dwainberg 17:16:27 [Jeff, the best way to make progress if you don't like existing proposals is to submit your own.] 17:16:55 +schunter 17:17:21 daivdwainberg: i would caution us against a definition that does not accurately reflect what we are trying to accomplish .....might end up with spec that is confusing to users 17:17:26 q? 17:17:36 zakim, who is on the phone? 17:17:36 On the phone I see Wendy, lsheena (muted), Jeff, ninjamarnau, npdoty, dwainberg, JackHobaugh, hwest, Brooks, Joanne, vinay, Fielding, dsinger, mecallahan, jchester2 (muted), 17:17:39 ... hefferjr, FPFJoeN (muted), matt, SusanIsrael, RichardWeaver, LeeTien, WileyS, Chris_Pedigo, [FTC], Ari, [Microsoft], adrianba, moneill2, justin, efelten, chapell, 17:17:39 ... laurengelman?, [Mozilla], BerinSzoka, johnsimpson, schunter 17:17:39 [Mozilla] has sidstamm 17:17:39 justin: worth noting jeff jaffe's advice to make your own proposal 17:17:42 zakim, mute me 17:17:42 npdoty should now be muted 17:17:48 I would like a definition that exactly fits what a user wants to turn off, or at least as close as possible that the browser companies are willing to use that in their description of the configuration option. 17:18:06 q+ 17:18:12 I hope you appreciate the limited resources NGOs have here--especially as we are dealing with the databroker expansion of data gathering. 17:18:15 fielding, does that mean we have to fit the whole spec into that definition? 17:18:24 davidwainberg: circling back to process/deadlines, seems that tracking and first party might both be tied to/interdependent with change proposals to come later. 17:18:36 schunter: according to plan we don't keep it open. 17:18:51 Jeff - we're all stretched - I don't believe NGOs have some unique situation there. 17:18:52 npdoty, we have to fit the entirety of the user's expression, yes -- otherwise it isn't their expression 17:18:56 .....if at later stage there are inconsistencies we will repair. 17:18:57 I think roughly DNT = "I don't want entities that I am unaware of, didn't intend to interact with, and cannot see, keeping records about my web activity" 17:19:03 It would be also good if you have particular practices that are outside the definitions and should be including. 17:19:04 i am back 17:19:10 dsinger, +1 17:19:18 schunter: at some point will issue calls for change proposals. 17:19:19 dsinger, that's basically what my def said. 17:19:27 Shane. I think that's absurd and not what I would expect from Yahoo. 17:19:31 what's the close date for CPs for this issue? 17:19:47 AFAIR, 2 weeks after we issue the call. 17:20:03 (look into plan for normative language) 17:20:17 justin: david i hear what you're saying and as matthias said we are trying to take a different approach now rather than keeping everything open. It won't be perfect, and we'll be aware of issues and make adjustments. 17:20:19 q? 17:20:19 q? 17:20:24 Jeff - I work 16 hours a day on average - how is that absurd? 17:20:38 schunter: find one of the definitions that exist and see if you can make it work. 17:20:42 ack johnsimpson 17:20:46 ack jo 17:20:47 I am working 7 days a week myself--stay tuned for forthcoming products! 17:21:26 johnsimpson: i always thought defining tracking was not necessary because what the spec does not allow is tracking but if group feels definition is necessary i can live with that if we find a good one... 17:21:30 Jeff - understood (although on weekends I drop to about 10 hours a day). I'm just saying that most people I speak to - across the board - are working crazy hours right now. Something in the water? 17:21:30 ack fielding 17:21:34 ack fiel 17:21:40 ...what's in editor's draft and jmayer's defintion look good. 17:22:02 q+ 17:22:14 Shane: Agreed. It's the water (although I don't work for Melissa Mayer! 17:22:19 ack d 17:22:22 ack dsinger 17:22:26 fielding: in my opinion this is the issue on which all others depend, it does not itself depend on others except maybe "user." all adobe's answers depend on how we define tracking. 17:22:45 Can Roy use Adobe's business model to propose how they would define tracking? 17:22:49 dsinger: definition is long. can you explore edge cases and provide examples? 17:22:54 fielding: possibly. 17:23:14 dsinger. cool. would be interesting to see why some things are or are not tracking. 17:23:14 I think "collect" "retain" and "share" are also important parts of most definitions of "tracking" 17:23:42 Folks, remember what Brooks said in Amsterdam: his son asked him where he was going. When he said "Do Not Track," his son asked the question we should ALL agree ought to be answered before we can proceed; "Daddy, what's tracking?" Disagreement about the answer is one thing, but it's absurd that we're still debating whether we should have an answer 17:23:45 fielding: definition includes both type of data and use of data. so something might not be tracking but can't be used for tracking. 17:23:55 if "collect" and "retain" are in a definition, I want them distinguished 17:24:01 fielding: [example of unique screen sizes\ 17:24:16 what if they used the data to create a score that is used at some point? 17:24:42 +1 to David. If retention is dropped to anything more than a microsecond there is little distinction between collection and retention in my eyes (from a practical point of view) 17:24:45 schunter: when i look at definition by jonathan and [???] look fairly similar. OK to merge them? 17:25:09 schunter: i would like to reduce number of change proposals by merging similar ones. 17:25:17 q? 17:25:20 dsinger, WileyS, I'm +1 that we could likely turn those into one term with one definition 17:25:21 schunter: feedback on that? 17:25:32 schunter: then i will send an email to list asking if that's ok. 17:25:33 Looks to me like merging works. 17:25:40 -dsinger 17:25:58 Nick - would definitely make reading the document much easier 17:26:08 +dsinger 17:26:09 WileyS, indeed 17:26:15 Nick - note, "much" was probably too strong - but still easier 17:26:18 q? 17:26:25 schunter: so homework for this one is to include dwainberg proposal.....[ ] version, more to come. 17:26:45 q? 17:26:52 q? 17:27:00 schunter: call ends. we will use this pattern for the coming weeks. 17:27:12 Regrets for next week in advance.
