Private User Agent Community Group Proposed

The Private User Agent Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

The Private User Agent Community Group is chartered to improve user
privacy and user control by designing the User Agent to minimize
fingerprinting and to improve the control the user has over information
shared over the Web and to improve the security of the User Agent in
these regards.  The group seeks to standardize the designs necessary to
achieve these goals, to develop extensions designed for privacy to
mitigate inevitable losses of functionality, to foster consideration of
privacy in the design of other Web standards, and to discuss and develop
implementations and test suits.  Mechanisms for expressing user privacy
preferences to servers and content provides are outside the scope of
this group.




--------------------------------------------------

You are invited to support the creation of this group:

Once the group has a total of five supporters, W3C launch the group
and people can join to begin work.
