How can the exception API be used to grant site-wide exceptions to multiple sites?

- Description:
- Scenario: A company has many sites and would like to provide exceptions for all its sites. Assuming site1.com, site2.com all belong to brand.com
Scenario:
- A user visits site1.com
- The site redirects to privacy.brand.com
- privacy.brand.com aims at obtaining exceptions for
*.site1.com
*.site2.com
*.brand.com
as user-friendly as possible
Today, the origin-binding means that this would require 3 API calls (one for each site). The goal of this issue is to provide a single interaction to resolve this problem. - Related Actions Items:

Related notes:
Proposed solution:
a) A site (e.g., privacy.brand.com) declares its affiliated sites in the "same-party" attribute within the tracking status resource
b) The site calls for a site-wide exceptions using the API
c) We update the spec in a way that this exception is valid for all
third parties ON ALL SITES declared to belong to the same party as indicated
by the same-party attribute.
The consensus was to keep the origin policy, i.e., to require each domain to ask for a site-wide exception for itself. This may require iframes to obtain exceptions for multiple sites.
