<tlr> Scribe: yianni
<aleecia> :-)
<tlr> who dialed in from 202 and 408?
<peterswire> peter and yianni from 202
<kulick> brad kulick, Yahoo! from 408
<schunter> My
<schunter> me
<tlr> ah, good
<schunter> I will be in listen-only mode.
<aleecia> Hi Peter
<kulick> sounds fine
<Brooks> perfect
Peter Swire introduction, start with 2nd item of agenda
<npdoty> scribenick: Yianni
If you are interested in scribing in the future, please email nick doty or peter swire
<AnnaLong> zakim aagg is AnnaLong
We will start meetings promptly at 12
Please notify nick doty in advance if you will be using a new number
<npdoty> yes, feel free to contact me ahead of time, Nick Doty, npdoty@w3.org
<robsherman> To be clear, you're saying to notify Nick ONLY if you're not on IRC — correct?
<tlr> if the following folks could please identify themselves: 1.206.658.aaee 1.202.257.aaii +1.646.827.aajj 1.908.239.aall
<johnsimpson> how long does the regular number stay associated?
<aleecia_> until Zakim mysteriously forgets it again
Amy (Microsoft), just email in advance if you do not have access to IRC
<BrendanIAB> johnsimpson - until Zakim has memory issues
<Chris_IAB> just joined via Skype
<johnsimpson> i need zakim to schedule and run my life
<susanisrael> susanisrael joined from 215.286.xxxxx
<aleecia_> Is there a reason we are not scribing this?
<aleecia_> (prod Nick)
<npdoty> peterswire: particularly important to avoid ad hominem style attacks
<jchester2> I agree with Aleecia. This should be scribed
Disagree fervently on substance, but try not to attack each other on personal grounds
<justin> Is anyone else having trouble getting on? Keep getting busy signal.
<aleecia_> thank you
Try to be constructive in tone and try to avoid personal attacks as a theme going forward
<AdamAN> hi zakim, i'm 646-827-xxxx
<Chris_IAB> +1
<Chris_IAB> no
<tlr> nope
<robsherman> +1 means agree
Third item on agenda: small administrative issue, not a big change in rules
Concern from people that a lot of issues on compliance spec are linked together
Worry that if we have agreement on one issue it will effect another issue
great deal of traffic on email list and on the weekly calls, and if you blink, you may waive concerns about an issue
For compliance spec, try to make sure there is clear notice to the group when we are planning to see consensus
<aleecia_> does this mean we will have a second mailing list for official announcements?
<aleecia_> Thomas, feel free to take that on IRC to save time
we're in a discussion mode, we're are not in a point that we trying to annouce consensus on particular issues
<tlr> yes, there will be an announcement list
that time will come, but we will be clear when we are closing off issues
<aleecia_> thank you. any idea when (re: announcement list)?
<tlr> days
<aleecia_> thank you kindly
<npdoty> we're working out the exact details of that announce list, so that messages will and won't be filtered appropriately
making email list longer to state objections is not a good use of time
Call for questions on phone numbers
<aleecia> Justin was having trouble calling in, but seems to have resolved it
Item number 4 on agenda: other questions and comments
an email to peter personally is appropriate if you have concerns
tlr: times and dates for next in person meeting: 4 Feb or 11 Feb
more information within days, hosting on the US east coast
<ifette> Does east vs west coast US actually matter?
<tlr> ifette, yes
<aleecia> do we know dates on Rigo's thing?
If anyone wants to host, please contact Thomas offline
<tlr> aleecia, week of 28 January
<aleecia> thanks!
<tlr> we expect to have dial-in for US participants for that one
<Chris_IAB> middle of the US?
<ifette> trading between Europe and US I understand, but within the US it seems… less important
strong perference to rotate to the east coast
<WileyS> One argument is that east caost makes it easier for EU participation (cheaper to fly)
Go around the room, and ask for comments, start with letter M
<JC> Let's use the IRC list and then go to phone with alphabet
Tell your full name, organization you work with, your role in the organization
<tlr> JC, let's not debate the order ;)
verbal addition to some of the points a new co-chair should hear and group should hear
First person with letter m in their handle will start
Jan 22, Peter will be in Brussels for face to face meetings
Next week on weds and thursday, peter has time to meet with people in DC

<fielding> Web software architectural principles and the REST architectural style, and was on the W3C Team during the summer of 1995. I work from home (mostly) in Tustin, California.

Lauren - lawyer, small pratice focused on privacy in San Fran
<tlr> bryan, so I suggest we take this one offline
Wants a fair, delightful result
One spec that represents a consensus approach is the best thing that can come out of this
<bryan> we should not be discovering this adhoc, but managing it more carefully. our participation hinges on W3C process adherence
as opposed to a technical background
<npdoty> bryan, tlr, the group has agreed to allow identified callers who are not formal participants in the group on our teleconferences

<aleecia> v. what we would have absent agreement.
focused on advertising privacy
Aleecia - software start up companies for 10 years
How do we find a solution that works for everyone, we can reach an agreement without having to worry about anti-trust
<npdoty> bryan, it might take me a little time to go back several months to find that documentation in the minutes
Distinction that more privacy is not always better for users, users are not one group
different users want different things, how to support users get outcomes they think they are getting
and what they want
Define: user - is a person, citizen (more than a consumer)
consumer suggests a business relationship that is not always the case
visit in corporate capacity is also a user
<bryan> OK, I did not catch the resolution, and as with our earlier discussion on media access, I would have raised concerns at the time
<tlr> bryan, happy to discuss further
<johnsimpson> I'm John M. Simpson, director of Consumer Watchdog's Privacy Project. We're a nonpartisan, nonprofit public interest group. I'm participating the WG as an invited expert.

<tlr> s/Felton/Felten/

Jeff Wilson - AOL, newcomers to the group, currently working on W3C membership
<tlr> (and participating here through NAI)
Been doing privacy for 6 years, beofre in tech roles for 10 years, works on privacy team
Peter - Thanks to everyone for coming together on these calls
On the email chain, there were 27 emails with priorities
Discussing theme of the emails, Peter carefully looked at online submissions
Some statements about importance of good procedures
Discussions of role of tech spec versus compliance spec
A number of people said there should be a tech but not a compliance spec
others said we needed both tech and compliance spec
Emphasis of DAA to only have a tech spec and quotes charter, then Jonathon Mayer quoted another part of the charter
Chris - emphasized part of the charter focused on tech spec
Chris - pointing out DAA position that if work would have been on tech spec the work would have already been done
The idea of one size fits all compliance document in the world that has called the divide and bogged down the debate
Wants to focus on tech spec to get a win
to allow regional interpretations of technology when appropriate
diffiult to have one size fits all (specifically between US and EUrope)
you have Canada, South American, and other areas that we have not heard of
<aleecia> How does that fit with quoting selectively from the charter, though? Did you have a point I missed,nor did you miss the rest of the charter?
<ifette> effective is relative
<jchester2> +q
W3C has been a very effective organization from tech side
<npdoty> if people are interested in the charter, you can read here: http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/charter
<jmayer> +q
Some of the other issues highlighted: how much to think about regional approach or global approach
comments have come from both directions
linkability and unlinkability is another area of focus
Series of back and forth on how to define key terms: tracking menionted the most
some said defining was important, others said it was a distraction
<Chris_IAB> also wanted to point out that we can define TECHNICAL compliance without having to define policy
Statements today and email show substantial disagreement
rather than try to resolve them today or say what the answers should be, should focus on areas where consensus can be found
<jmayer> I didn't follow the earlier discussion—was there an answer on whether the charter is limited to only the technical specification?
Try to build on accurate understanding of how the world is
perhaps not having big normative decisions at this point
<tlr> The charter explicitly mentions both deliverables. Reading the charter in a way that is internally consistent is preferable. ;)
Peter sees the challenges many people have pointed out, find relatively soon specific things to work on, rather than force consensus
Peter wants to listen very hard at this time
<aleecia> Hearing nothing, I assume there's no actual issue there (charter) but if I'm missing something, would love to hear what
Jeff - hope peter will resolve charter issue, needs clarity on charter
Need to do due diligence on this issue, lots of reasons why people are taking positions
need furthur research and discussion, hope to call it as you see it
<aleecia> Wait, JC is Jeff Chester? :-)
Peter is just observing right now that statements are contrary
<jmayer> aleecia, would prefer to not take the waiver approach. We should explicitly resolve something as important as what the charter allows.
in legislative debates, things can look impossible right before they get solved
<fielding> In voluntary standards debates, things without agreement get deleted.
Chris - can have a compliance spec for tech only
instead of defining policy
W3C has in the past been technologists putting together tech specs
With DNT, there have been a lot of lawyers added to the group
<aleecia> What would it look like to have compliance without policy?
<WileyS> Yianni, I believe you can - its focus would be based on technical symantics and workflow and not mention broader policy issues.
<aleecia> Genuine question
Ian - may start a committee to research charter
<aleecia> Fair.
a lot of progress on spec, not so much on policy
<dsinger> unsurprisingly, I think a simple centrist compliance document is possible; it won't be perfect, and won't implement much, if any, policy. but a dnt signal that has no 'common meaning' may be ... problematic
<ifette> I did not say we should start a committee to research the charter
focus should not be on what the charter says, instead where can agreement be reached
Thomas - interpret charter in internally consistent way, charter mentions compliance spec
<ifette> I said that I thought it was probably within the scope of the charter, but regardless of that, you must have agreement of the group to publish a document, and that we may or may not have that consensus and that might be a more fruitful question to discuss than charter issues
<jchester2> let Jonathan speak
<tlr> s/interpret charter/some folks read charter/
<justin> jmayer can put it in irc, though I think I know where he was headed . . .
Peter - call for next week
Do we have something to do for call next week?
<fielding> +1 for vacation
<jmayer> Here's what I was going to say: There are three components to the charter, 1) preference expression, 2) compliance, 3) selective blocking. For each of those components, the charter might allow or require decisions.
<Brooks> with our without a compliance spec, DNT:1 seems to me to be limited in meaning to a meaning that has been noticed to a consumer
<npdoty> if you have specific suggestions for compliance discussion for the call next week, follow up with Peter via email.
<jmayer> I think we have consensus that the charter allows all three. I don't think we have consensus on whether the charter requires any of the three.
<aleecia> Call canceled unless other notice?
<WileyS> Hopefully we'll know about the face-to-face soon...
Call on the 26th and on the 2nd are cancelled
<ifette> jmayer, i personally agree with you there, but regardless on whether you're chartered to do something, that doesn't necessarily mean that it happens
<johnsimpson> Thank you
<justin> Thanks PeterSwire
<npdoty> thanks all
<laurengelman> bye!
<aleecia> Ian, agree: TSLs are prime example
