I have added a description: The word "tracking" is central to all of the definitions and mechanisms being defined by this working group. Some people think "tracking" means following all of the user's actions, which would include first-party click-stream data collection. Other people think that "tracking" means following a user from one site to another (differently branded) site, which would exclude first-party data collection that isn't shared with third-parties. Which is it? Every time I look back at the IRC or meeting minutes, I see half the people assuming one or the other, and it is making it very hard to understand each other's opinions. ....Roy
