...first version of spec and will be released as recommendation soon
16:08:59 [matt]

16:10:53 [Joanne]
...found sites could conform to the requirements
16:10:58 [Joanne]
...not an easy task
16:11:46 [npdoty]
concept that "an API should never be allowed to lie!"
16:11:46 [Joanne]
...challenges is the API can lie about where you are and the API should not be able to lie. lots of conserns
16:11:52 [Joanne]

Matt: right people involved from teh get-go is important
16:13:22 [alissa]
Richard Barnes from BBN was also involved
16:13:55 [npdoty]
... could actually see PING as a horizontal thing to get people involved across groups
16:13:59 [Joanne]

16:15:34 [christine]
-q
16:16:05 [Joanne]
Matt: lessons I learned - a lot of engineers don't necessarily look at the privacy implications
16:16:44 [npdoty]
... radically different legal requirements (mandated in one country, prohibited in another)
16:16:47 [Zakim]
+??P22
16:17:08 [Joanne]
...Vodafone involvement showed how laws vary across some countries. what is ok in one country may not be allowed in another country. how do you write a spec with varying laws and test that these things are possible to enforce
16:17:11 [Zakim]
-??P22
16:17:58 [Joanne]
...one way to test is to read the privacy policy and test against that. trust the company does what they say are they are doing

Nick: wanted to ask about tag management. was tag review useful for uncovering privacy issues, and what role tag can play in reviewing areas around privacy?
16:20:07 [Joanne]
Matt: not real formal but did talk to tag for an hour or two. not sure if we can call it a tag review or not

16:24:09 [Joanne]
....sending privacy rules around. did end up with strong normative language. Testing was difficult to make sure reqs in Sec 3 were meet
16:25:02 [npdoty]
copying of sections of requirements on recipients wholesale into other specs, like device APIs, which might be advantageous
16:25:17 [Joanne]
...took some of this text wholesale and put them into their APIs. Reqs around receipents getting geo-location info hard to enforce
16:25:42 [Joanne]
Matt: this did not just breeze right through.

Nick: on the ques on testibility. we want to make it easy to test to determine conformance. should we make reqs more technicla and make privacy reqs testable against the spec
16:28:20 [Joanne]
Matt: what is interesting about w3c testing people is we have to show that everything normative is implementable. low bar. not very strong. we want above and beyond w3c reqs
16:28:49 [tara]

16:29:55 [npdoty]
s/unknown/Hannes/
16:30:50 [Joanne]
Matt: it changed on the browser side and the receipent side. no one hasn't reporoted on redeployment since Nick wrote the paper
16:31:05 [npdoty]
we thought about doing an updated study to see if there were deployment changes over time, but it's a hard thing to measure in a comparable way

-Ashok_Malhotra
16:48:43 [tara]
q?
16:48:46 [Joanne]
Christine: thank you Nick. I agree and we seem to be in agreement. A good way to make this happening is first provide guidance to WGs on when they need to invole PNG and TAG. Then identify common problems across the groups

It could be that influencing a WG on privacy is a lot like influencing end users on privacy… i.e. hard. ;-)
16:50:09 [fjh]
+1 to alissa re difficulty of adding-in privacy into WG later, needs to be part of WG overall
16:50:15 [Joanne]
alissa: might be controversial. it is diff to have influence over the trajectory of a WG by inserting a random timeline. you need to be involved the work of the group.
16:50:46 [fjh]
isn't that called "privacy by design" :)
16:50:53 [Joanne]
...advocate building this capability into those working across the w3c
16:51:18 [Joanne]
Christine: agree and if we can get there that would be fantastic
16:51:46 [Joanne]
Alissa: difficule, not necessarily controversal. its how we get there
16:51:58 [fjh]
q+
16:52:21 [robin]
In both cases, it's a problem of persuading people to adopt different privacy-related behaviours (and people's motivation for changing behaviour is notoriously tricky)
16:52:22 [Joanne]
Nick: maybe that answers the question of when. having this integrated in the discussion from the beginning stages
16:52:45 [Joanne]
Hannes: it is easy to say you need to consider security at the beginning same for privacy
16:53:24 [robin]
I should also clarify: this is Robin Wilton, not Robin Berjon (Hannes is referring to a doc by Robin B)
16:53:26 [Joanne]
...what is the foundation you want to rely on. some people think data minization is the idea others think user consent is the best. there are other design regimes
16:53:44 [tara]
ack fjh
16:53:50 [Joanne]
....need to ask the bigger question otherwise difficult to adivse
16:54:26 [robin]
Sorry, that got converted to an emoji. I meant "Hannes is referring to a document by Robin Berjon"
16:54:28 [Joanne]
fjh: it is a hard proble. it can't be bolt on later and needs to be done at the beginning.

16:57:17 [Joanne]
...if you start with something like js api. if some scoping is included in the doc. the most improtant qustions are - is asking the user consnet on the api. sme other work that falls outside the js mechansim allow a much richer choice of approach to look into

if when/how to integrate into the process sounds like a good starting point for writing, I'm happy to help with that
