13:22:20 rico -- disagrees; if DNT:0 is consent, why still need window shade? 13:22:28 How will Adobe get the DNT:0 signal? 13:22:34 s/rico/rigo/g 13:23:02 moneill2: DNT:0 or a cookie -- can say OK by user for tracking 13:23:04 q+ 13:23:20 pop-up or window shade (because, almost all users if prompted by the web browsers, in which we have no input in, will select 'tell websites not to track me') 13:25:01 brookman: something has to happen for Adobe to get the DNT signal and have it count as consent 13:25:31 q+ 13:25:31 rigo: if unset or DNT:1, have exception mechanism, and site can look to that in the exception API 13:25:43 q+ 13:27:01 ack weiss 13:27:02 Rigo: if define DNT:0, the messaging can be very small; define the average tracking of DNT:0 in the spec itself; only if go beyond that for additional permissions, then window shade or pop up window for those additional actions 13:27:20 +q 13:27:25 weiss_yahoo: don't focus too much on the tech specifics of the window shade 13:28:44 weiss-yahoo: one thing servers can do is get consent for everything at once; other extreme is granular and regional 13:29:28 rigo: in regulated context, law applies, DNT is a tool that allows things within the regulated framework 13:29:51 Yes, it allows you to globally reject certain processing by third parties! 13:30:07 rigo: DNT can standardize the most common stuff; DNT:0 permits most of what is done, and only get additional consent if do the smaller use cases 13:30:40 rigo: for sensitive data issues (Art. 8), then need something additional beyond DNT:0; would need to see how to do that 13:31:02 q? 13:31:29 ack moneill 13:32:05 moneill: two issues; need a consent mechanism, on 1st party sites, something will appear, that should be our focus; don't confuse that with the implied consent problem 13:34:21 ack vinay 13:35:11 vinay: another concern about changing DNT means is how consumer educated if rely on browsers to manage consent; "tell websites I don't want to be tracked" and haven't had clear messaging from the browsers about different meanings of "tracking" in different markets 13:36:25 vinay: if defaults with many DNT:1 from browsers, then pop-ups from lots and lots of sites 13:37:09 rigo: when have that, window shades seem attractive, but not over time; lots of people delete cookies 13:37:25 aleecia: roughly 50% delete cookies in 6 months, said Comscore 13:37:56 q? 13:38:32 brookman: on global default settings, ok to DNT:0 for analytics that doesn't authorize "everything server wants" 13:39:14 brookman: could do global setting at first run, say no window shades or whatever? 13:39:31 rigo: yes, a tool exists that is domain based at set-up, do that in a fine-grained way 13:39:47 No user is going to set up their browser to whitelist domains for DNT. 13:39:54 Like five users. 13:40:03 rigo: don't preclude innovation in permission management; user can start open and go closed; user can start closed and go open; that's an advantage of DNT at the moment 13:41:04 q+ 13:41:10 ack brookman 13:42:46 ack peterswire 13:43:16 brookman, that's why initially I proposed a content/context based exception mechanism.

Asymmetric Issue bridging gap between DNT which distinguishes first part and third party DNT:0 does not eliminate need for 1st party to provide notice obtain consent (e.g. window shades) and timing question 2. Handling of pseudonymous data (category under EU law) (Article 29 categories asymmetries) and asymmetries with permitted uses) 3. DNT default settings in the EU 4. Compare and contrast proposed Amendment 108 with existing Article 27 proced[CUT] 14:16:32 please clarify as needed 14:17:54 add'l issues 14:17:55 Wolf emphasizes the possibility of a contract or other agreement between a first party and data subject; that agreement may override what is in the DNT standard that applies to both first and third parties; don't know how to eal with that issue (revisit as part of first party discussion) 6. Sensitive data issues (Article 8) - need something beyond DNT:0 to handle (note: main WG decided not to address year ago) 7. discuss DNT:1 permitted uses; under e-Privacy[CUT] 14:18:34 Are you back?

Related but different issues 14:32:21 [note for those on the phone, Rigo is updating slides in real time to capture discussion] 14:33:02 rigo: make a standard, then diff to the user. Your information need to the user is condensed. We have to discuss if this works 14:34:14 ... next issue, becomes a subpart of issue 1 14:35:25 ... do we have an issue on pseudonymous data? New regulation has implications here 14:35:43 Vinay: only need if we discuss the laws 14:35:59 tlr: it's an issue, we're talking about it 14:36:16 kimon: what about anon issue, is that a different issue? 14:36:40 rob: if it's anon, we don't need to worry about it.

Shane is at 18 months if de-identified. For me, need to look at purpose, 24 hours could be long enough. 14:49:36 If third parties can do behavioral tracking despite DNT:unset in the EU, it will not be because of this document. That will be an interpretation of existing (or future) EU law. 14:49:47 s/this document/any document this group issues 14:49:55 Rigo: put that under pseudonymous discussion 14:50:02 swire: and anon as well? 14:51:07 q? 14:51:26 discussion summary: 14:51:54 if something is pseudonymous enough, do we have to address it? Or does retention time / use still matter? 14:52:32 rigo: if not part of consent mechanism, it's out of scope or permitted use, which has a description of it 14:53:20 rigo: would add article 27 procedure under data protection 14:53:21 -Ionel 14:54:28 ninjamarnau has joined #dnt 14:54:58 rob: fundamental question, if the answer is no, we're doing something completely different with DNT. 14:55:27 ... do we still go for that solution or not? If we find it infeasible to use DNT for consent, we need to feed that back to the big group 14:56:18 rigo: sensitive data issue 14:56:26 ... article 8, medical data 14:56:46 ... in P3P we had issues with double click declaring medical data 14:56:58 ... Kimon says there's no pharma advertising so the issue goes away 14:57:09 ... is there an article 8 issue or can we skip it? 14:57:27 ... if we believe we have to deal with sens data, could have window shade like requirements 14:57:42 ... could need additional consent, and javascript API 14:57:48 ... should we keep or strike? 14:58:11 rob: keep it.

Perhaps other categories, but maybe not geoloc.

EU, permitted use and/or exception could differ 15:08:24 ?: we now refer to e-priv only, is that intended? 15:08:42 ... existing privacy directive, and e-priv is only cookies 15:08:51 ... need current and future too 15:09:18 ... exemptions is not just e-priv directive, more general 15:09:26 ... also national laws 15:09:42 ... example, German law with other exemptions 15:10:02 justin: asymmetry in laws 15:10:16 q? 15:10:19 q+ 15:10:47 s/justin/weiss_yahoo 15:10:54 q? 15:11:07 (thanks, sorry) 15:11:09 q? 15:11:10 ack rvaneijk 15:11:16 dwainber_ has joined #dnt 15:11:19 rob: can we bridge asymmetry? 15:11:25 ... or do we always have a gap? 15:12:10 weiss: what do we *need* it to do to get to compliance. Let's find the delta to the main document. Maybe there is a way to address them, but I want to make sure that all of the exceptions I get the benefit of as an EU company are preserved 15:12:34 ... to the point about reconciling in one signal and one server call is a concern 15:13:44 rigo: permitted uses that are allowed in EU are not missing from compliance list, but should check 15:13:52 weiss: first party analytics 15:13:56 q+ 15:14:24 rob: not the biggest point to worry about. "Audience measurement" more an issue 15:15:09 rob: could not exempt first party analytics but it is what we would have advised 15:15:17 rigo: need to discuss 15:15:44 ... if we put this in and get recognition from Art 29 WP, could work 15:15:52 weiss: is that realistic? 15:16:04 rob: highly legal env, can only go as far as the law says 15:16:07 q? 15:16:31 rigo: amendment 108 discussion but in the mean time, could have tolerance if this is accepted practice 15:16:32 "tolerance" . . . 15:16:43 tlr: would like to hear from Thomas 15:16:47 q? 15:17:02 q+ thomasSchauf 15:17:55 q+ 15:17:58 Horax has joined #dnt 15:18:19 ack aleecia 15:18:21 q? 15:18:30 This discussion somewhat belies that argument that Europe doesn't care about the difference between first and third parties 15:18:39 ack peter 15:18:45 swire: defn of first party not discussed, but has corporate group. Holding company with multiple brands. Does that work in EU? 15:19:02 rob: legal perspective, legal entity 15:19:16 swire: controller is narrower and different in EU 15:19:46 rob: sometimes wider because of data processor, which becomes part of first party 15:20:03 weiss: yes, under 95 directive 15:20:34 rigo: what about wholly owned subsidiary? 15:20:48 ... your company but diff legal entity.

Remains global standard but get recognition 15:22:50 Thomas: one global standard, yes or no? 15:22:54 to extend aleecia's scribing: if a corporate group contains several legal entities (Ltd., Inc., Corp, AG) these are several controllers, not one single controller 15:23:24 rigo: hope is we can create one DNT with two docs that work globally 15:23:29 ... is a hope 15:23:52 ,,, means checking entire document against EU laws. But we aren't there yet 15:24:13 Rigo: going through mind map to see if other issues 15:25:36 ... do not have defn of DNT:0 marked down yet, central 15:26:13 ... use P3P data classes, firefly which was bought by MSFT, wanted full set of online collectable data. Could use it here. 15:26:33 tlr: that's a possible solution, we're working on problem defn 15:26:41 q+ 15:26:56 q+ 15:27:14 thoma_schauf, on the queue from before, or newly on the queue? 15:27:32 rigo: content of the consent message when you get DNT:0 15:27:38 ack tho 15:27:39 q? 15:27:47 ack rva 15:27:51 -q 15:28:00 rob: see you are connecting purposes to DNT:0 15:28:06 rigo: need specific consent 15:28:12 rob: limited list, though. 15:28:32 ... for exceptions, data minimization, no secondary use, etc. - including in this text as well? 15:28:51 ... limited list gets purpose limitations. Second is addtional limitations like we did with exceptions. 15:29:18 Rigo: DNT:0 makes sense only if we make the assumption that all processing of personal data is prohibited unless you have a legal ground or consent 15:29:30 ... all those limitations apply 15:30:05 ... suggestion, define DNT:0 in broad way we get rid of 99% of window dialogs 15:30:18 ... "do you want the commercial web to work, yes / no" instead of fine grain 15:30:46 ... under finality principle and other principles apply here. for the US, irrelevant anyway. 15:30:59 ... use an "at least" definition 15:31:08 rob: address asymmetry here as well 15:31:40 rigo: asymmetry is there in legal framework, can explain it, but don't have to make it explicit. You would destroy the American model. 15:33:22 rigo: two possible deliverables. Normative text goes into main docs, or a set of best practices 15:34:01 q? 15:34:12 ack vinay 15:34:14 justin: you mean specifying absolutely not tracking? (hilarity ensued) 15:34:51 vinay: if compliance defines tracking and is geared to 1st or 3rd party, would we need to change the defn of track, or have a different DNT:1 for GC? 15:35:12 ... if track or DNT:1 is defined, do we need a way to define it differently? 15:35:33 swire: within WG, people feel we must define tracking, and must not define tracking. Conflict. 15:36:04 ... for global reasons if we have DNT:1 and :0 makes it even harder to have normative defn of tracking, because regional (laws?) may be different 15:36:33 ... not having tracking defined, there's 23 things that say what you may do, but nothing on top of that. If they work for DNT:0 and :1, that's great 15:36:39 In Cambridge, we were getting close to a definition of "tracking" based on what I proposed: tracking is "the collection and retention of data across multiple parties' web domains in a form such that it can be attributed to a specific user or device 15:36:59 vinay: by selecting DNT:0 you're allowing first party analytics, but in most of the world that would be ok with DNT:1 15:37:13 ...wouldn't the defn of DNT:0 change? 15:37:41 rigo: -- loses scribe. huh? 15:38:03 swire: EU has its law. Say it's the strictest. Then DNT:0 good globally 15:38:17 vinay: browser says what to users? 15:38:25 rigo: they don't, you tell them 15:38:38 vinay: but the choice is made before they reach a website 15:39:13 rigo: when they come to you, ask them to change, and you present it 15:40:00 ... if we don't want the battle on defaults, give a choice upfront 15:40:18 vinay: if we want informed choice, we tell them pros and cons of both choices 15:40:22 wolf has joined #dnt 15:40:48 q? 15:41:06 I think this is an open issue :) 15:41:10 ninja: what does a browser need to do to get informed consent for DNT:1 and :0? 15:41:29 vinay: if it differs regionally, how do browsers explain? 15:41:39 ... changes the defn of what DNT means 15:41:47 i'm surprised we've gone this long having avoided the word browser 'wizard' 15:41:51 ... if DNT:1 is regional, DNT:0 is too 15:42:00 q+ 15:42:30 brookman: DNT:0 means you can track me anywhere, for example. 15:42:41 ... then refine "anywhere" 15:42:45 q? 15:42:46 q- 15:43:00 q? 15:43:07 MOVING TO MARKET RESEARCH 15:43:12 AKA AUDIENCE MEASURESMENT 15:43:20 rigo: nine issues so far, time to move on 15:43:25 zakim, who is here? 15:43:25 On the phone I see Berlin, +1.613.947.aaee 15:43:26 s/measuresment/measurement 15:43:27 On IRC I see wolf, Horax, dwainber_, ninjamarnau, kj, aleecia, nic, rigo, Yianni, tara, brookman, Thomas_Schauf, vincent, moneill2, rvaneijk, jamesgray_dgconnect, Cordula_Zimmer, 15:43:27 ...

We are 30 minutes late. 15:46:21 Peterswire: WOuld like to have the conversation at some point during the 2 days 15:46:45 Rigo: Perhaps we can have this another time, or discuss it over dinner. Prefer to have it now 15:47:00 Chapell has joined #DNT 15:47:08 Fast .. lets track Kimon! 15:47:40 we're trying to get all the relevant people in the room 15:47:44 we're not on an official break 15:47:59 Peter is now chairing 15:48:02 Mission accomplished! We've found Kimon 15:48:26 We have a lot of knowledgeable people in the room right now. Kathy Joe provided language to the grou 15:48:39 ...p. Rigo is presenting it on the screen. 15:48:58 Justin was part of the working group that came up with the language Kathy proposed 15:49:01 Justin wasn't part of the group 15:49:08 he was an outsider; and he expressed some concerns over the languag 15:49:37 Concerns: 1) audience measurement still allows for 3rd parties to monitor all my web traffic (albeit for understandable purposes) 15:50:13 found useful: 1) hard requirement that data be anonymized (or did he say pseudonymized); and 2) a hard 53 week retention period 15:50:34 Made the argument that the reports are meant to calculate 1-year 15:51:02 Justin: The other language was not as important because you can still do A LOT with it 15:51:28 PeterSwire: Are these practices different/in line with EU practices? 15:51:42 Kimon: Haven't had a chance to discuss this with his members yet 15:52:25 Peter question to Kimon: Is pseudonymous common in the EU? (like a cookie ID; but not PII like email/name/phone number) 15:52:43 Kimon: Cannot commit; but as far as he knows as limited to audience measurement, you drop a cookie/ use a tag 15:53:10 Justin: I imagine other demographic information is relevant, like age, location, etc. 15:53:39 Kimon: What market research is doing is two things: 1) What is the market share of each of the websites; and 2) (_____) I couldn't catch it 15:53:55 Fundamental problem of research is trying to adjust the numbers 15:54:59 What the large companies do is adjust the numbers against panels (consent-based model); if the panel is large enough, the audience can be used to better the measurements to accrue for inconsistencies 15:55:14 q+ 15:55:30 q- 15:55:34 ack rvaneijk 15:56:20 Rvaneijk: two points. Kathy sent the group a document that has notes. Looked at hte document closely. Takes into account a lot of info that he would consider PII (user account info, unique registrant, etc.) . Many categories of data that has to deal with a specific user 15:56:47 ... 2) The presentation that David Stark presented contains reports (slides still online) that were meant to show aggregated reports. It said 'unique user'... 15:57:04 q+ 15:57:15 ... The report shows aggregated results; but it uses browser-level data 15:57:27 peterswire has joined #dnt 15:57:27 ... Signaling DNT needs to be meaningful 15:57:33 q? 15:58:35 Rvaneijk: audience measurement is something he clearly sees fit within DNT. its a business model that includes data flows that a lot of people may feel uneasy about. So, DNT:1 has meaning towards this type of data 15:58:38 q+ 15:58:58 Ninja: If we're talking about pseudonymous data, if we're talking about pseudonymous data as yello data, there are a lot of shades of yellow 15:59:31 ... even if you do not have directly identifiable data, if you have enough indirect data, you need to see the context/aggregation to see if it can be re-personalized. needs to be careful about darker yellow categories 15:59:43 rvaneijk: do we need to place limitations on the collection, or the use? 15:59:52 q? 15:59:58 ack ninjamarnau 16:00:03 wiess_yahoo: one challenge he sees is on how broadly we define terms like research. 16:00:27 ... certain kinds of research may be allowable (even if it contains PII) 16:00:31 q+ 16:00:42 ... this topic has an ambiguity to it on the purpose for what the data will be used for 16:01:04 ack Weiss_Yahoo 16:01:06 ... there may be multiple uses of this data. a one-size fits all rule may be challenging for this use case 16:01:39 peterswire: this got started with meetings with Kathy Joe @ esomar. The term I've found 'market resarch' is confusing enough that i'd like to move away from using the term 'audience measurement' 16:01:46 brookman has joined #dnt 16:01:48 ... this new term has fewer ambiguities 16:02:05 ... can imagine there would be a functioning economy for this on the internet 16:02:12 (an industry that was previously based entirely on opt-in data) 16:02:32 ... On hte internet, there are a bunch of things that can happen without the opt-in 16:03:50 ... this group may determine that the nielsen-type may not need to be affected. it may decide that it is a permitted use. what peter wants is to understand how this sort of issue will be thought about in the legal EU context 16:04:05 weiss_yahoo: the 'research' status is relevant under EU law; and it is evolving 16:04:25 ... whether that kind of use has been addressed in the Art 29 WP on this 16:04:35 ... some of it may fall under a subset of analytics 16:04:49 q? 16:04:49 q? 16:04:52 q/ 16:04:56 Q? 16:05:05 q- 16:05:26 Kimon: in the offline world, you would be putting people on the bridge to count the number of cars driving each way 16:05:39 ... you would have people asking drivers specific questions on where you are driving to 16:05:42 I can't think of cross-site passively-collected "market research" that can't also be defined as "audience measurement" 16:05:56 ... in the online world, you have limitations. for example, you have surveys and panels 16:06:10 Peterswire: there haven't been much arguments about the panels 16:06:21 ... but there is strong concern over DNT:1 and the 'watching them on the bridge' example 16:06:25 q? 16:07:10 Rigo: I think market research is needed. I'm not saying that its not needed. The Q is does it create databases that law enforcement can access. Concern that they need to watch all of us to see whether the people they've got to sign up is honest 16:07:34 kimon: It always comes back to (_____) Something (I missed it) 16:07:39 fwagner has joined #dnt 16:08:04 q+ 16:08:08 ... don't share your mistrust. 16:08:30 If we can't fix government access issues, then we absolutely have to care about industry databases. 16:08:45 +1 to Kimon's point about differentiating risks presented by the Gov't from risks presented by mere 'holding' of data for legitimate purposes by industry 16:09:05 ... on the industry point, we need to come to the conclusion on whether 'we are evil', 'if we're big brother', or 'if we're agreeing where the risk lies' 16:09:20 ... in Kimon's view, audience measurement isn't that scary 16:09:38 Justin Brookman: SHould I have any control over a 3rd party watching me for audience measurement? 16:09:45 kimon: it's all a balance in society 16:09:50 Q? 16:09:50 Justin: what's your answer 16:09:55 Kimon: you have a control 16:10:44 Aleecia: I'm not looking at this from a state-actor or data-breach perspective. I'm looking at it from a population/consumer perspective that have said "I do not want to be tracked" 16:11:08 ... so the question becomes "from a public policy perspective, where do we say 'even though you haven't consented (or you have said no), we still want to track you anyways) 16:11:27 ... in the past, we've had a very small set of uses that said we still need to track you anyways 16:11:37 ... then we starte dgoing down to use/retention/narrow scope 16:12:03 ... the question that I have is: "Does this audience measurement rise to the level of 'we don't care what you want, we're doing it anyways'?" 16:12:35 ... "does it rise that level?" I'm looking for the argument on why that's so vital 16:12:45 Kimon: So, if I'm a website, I have to finance myself somehow 16:13:17 ... If I'm an advertiser, I have to know how effective my offer is. To know whether I should continue knowing whether I should market online. 16:13:23 ... I also want to know about my market share 16:13:45 q+ 16:13:49 ... Its to know 'what is my market share'? If we don't know how many people are online, the "Internet starts breaking a bit" 16:13:54 Panel data has worked in other industries for years 16:14:06 ack aleecia 16:14:10 Aleecia: What I hear is, we need to be able to perform analytics on the site, but we need to do analytics across sites. 16:14:15 Kimon: That's not what I'm saying 16:14:59 Aleecia: I'm hearing this as an end-run against independent data rights 16:15:08 Kimon: Its not. It's about aggregation 16:15:12 q? 16:15:14 Q? 16:15:33 rvaneijk: I think there are ways ot move forward here; but it may be from my lack of understanding. I have a feeling that hte data collection is not proportionate 16:16:24 ... on the bridge example, i write down the license plate and collect other information like car type/ etc.. The question becomes, that event level data, is there a way to anonymize/de-identify it so that there are no license plates there? 16:16:26 q+ 16:17:04 rrsagent, set log public 16:17:07 kimon: its unfortunate we don't have our colleagues here to look at this more closely 16:17:12 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 16:17:12 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2013/03/11-dnt-minutes.html rigo 16:17:19 q+ 16:17:28 ack moneill2 16:17:29 I suspect it's not that easy, but I am still curious about how much the passive measurement data really fine tunes the panel data at the end of the day. 16:17:39 ack moneill 16:17:52 moneill: if you limit the identifier for a short period of time, maybe that can solve some of the issue? you don't need to keep the data that long 16:17:57 (did I get that right?) 16:18:51 Rigo: If we define a permitted use for audience measurement, then we could define it in a restrictive way 16:19:09 ... then we could set restrictions, such as 'you cannot use this for calibration...' 16:19:23 ... htere is an advantage to set audience measurement as a permitted use so you can set the space 16:20:04 Q? 16:20:09 ack rigo 16:20:13 ack weiss 16:20:47 weiss_yahoo: Companies are measuring log files. Some of the purposes are permissable for permitted uses 16:21:13 ... the log files are still there (because of other permitted uses) 16:21:20 ... companies have logical silos 16:21:38 Q? 16:21:50 ... there is no 1:1 data collection/data storage/data use -- so there's a challenge when there are multiple purposes 16:22:21 aleecia has joined #dnt 16:23:18 q+ 16:23:34 q- 16:24:16 weiss_yahoo: the closer analogy I see is frequency capping 16:24:37 ... added benefit of it had some consumer protection element ( so consumers don't see the same ad over and over again) 16:25:33 aleecia: double-keyed cookies would help remove some of the privacy concerns 16:26:45 ... I think frequency capping was about money 16:27:31 ... double-keyed cookies is in non-normative text 16:27:34 dwainberg has joined #dnt 16:28:00 dwainberg has left #dnt 16:28:33 ... Aleecia: a lot of people said they could live with the idea of double-keyed cookies 16:28:36 Nooooo! 16:28:47 Rigo: we have the room until 2100 16:29:37 rvaneijk: would be interesting to recap the discussion on frequency capping 16:29:48 + +1.917.934.aaff 16:29:49 ... shows a need and a privacy-friendly alternative 16:30:03 susanisrael has joined #dnt 16:30:20 ... average time I spend on a specific side of the website is web analytics (first party) 16:30:21 zakim, aaff is Susan_Israel 16:30:22 +Susan_Israel; got it 16:30:28 ... the analody of frequency capping is not a good one 16:30:36 analogy/ not analody 16:30:45 aleecia: I agree with what Rob said 16:30:53 ... is there a way that's good enough? 16:31:12 ... Is there a time component that you're doing audience measurement (with, for example, data for one day)? 16:31:21 Is panel data plus non-DNT:1 census users enough? 16:31:34 Which is more than you get for other industries. 16:31:36 Kimon: Not sure if the timing data is enough; but I'll take this back 16:32:41 rvaneijk: Not sure what we're really dealing with. sounds like a large exception for advertising 16:32:54 ... if we're talking about behavioral advertising, do we need aggregate reports? 16:33:24 ... How does that work? 16:37:25 fwagner has joined #dnt 16:37:39 rvaneijk: what would be the added value for DNT (since they already have an opt out) 16:38:48 rvaneijk: David Stark talked about a way to provide visibility. how can the consumer figure out who the audience science companies are? 16:39:12 kimon: if we integrate everything in to DNT, we need to evaluate whether it makes sense to put everything in the same basket 16:40:18 rvaneijk: DNT needs to be meaningful; and right now its not meaningful to him 16:40:27 rigo: can there be an opt out for measurement? 16:40:41 i think of audience measurement as being primarily about measuring the audience for content. Of course, this will be a first-party use in most cases. 16:41:46 most magazines were sold on a subscription basis and there was a lot of demographic analysis of those subscriber lists 16:42:42 Aleecia: is this enough of a problem to tell people they don't have choices anymore? 16:42:52 peterswire: once a user clicks DNT, it hsould mean something 16:43:03 q+ 16:43:12 ... core point from privacy: it needs to mean stop collecting data across sites; and can't keep it for 13 months 16:43:33 ... for industry it needs to bring value and insight so they can best determine how to manage advertising spend 16:43:40 Kimon: can't forget the diversity of the internet 16:43:44 ... lots of different players 16:44:03 q+ 16:44:06 +1 to content diversity point 16:44:21 Aleecia: not taking away own-site analytics 16:44:29 susan, can you hear it well? 16:44:48 ... wouldn't also removing those small guys not have that large of an impact to your counts? 16:45:29 rigo, I can hear some people better than others. thanks. Not perfect, but I get the idea. 16:46:13 Kimon: an advertiser may say "I don't trust you, NYTimes.com, I want to hear from someone independent" 16:46:22 brookman: Why can't you use analytics instead? 16:46:27 agree that third party measurement is often required to establish trust 16:46:35 *thanks, Rigo 16:47:01 Rigo - try to use the different microphones on the table, re arrange them 16:47:02 rvaneijk: This is not just limited to the web.

This is also mobile; and all across the internet 16:48:15 rigo: have had very nice research done here. what do you think the willingness of the industry is to 'stuff the DNT:1 users' into the same bucket so you don't get as much info about them as you do from others? 16:48:24 http://www.appnexus.com/ebay-case-study 16:48:26 ... is there a way to reduce the data but continue to measure 16:48:36 ... do you need all this data for the complete picture? 16:49:51 peterswire: was talking to a company in the us about this. what are the characteristics of users between DNT:0 and DNT:1? 16:49:57 ... this company hasn't done the research yet 16:50:11 ... but was wondering if users who set it have different charecteristics from it 16:52:20 Rigo: the largest and fiercest resistance he's seen in implementation is when people have software they are unwilling to change 16:54:15 rvaneijk: maybe the industry needs to innovate?... 16:54:45 Back to Rigo 16:54:50 Rigo: last part on the agenda today 16:54:59
