16:10:10 [Lmastria_DAA]
The deliberations were premised on inaccuracies (at least as it relates to the DAA Program) regardless of the proposals. Therefore the results may be impacted

I'm confused - I thought I saw an email from Roy about the adoption of the June draft as editor's draft. If Not authorized by Roy, which of the editors turned the June draft into the editors draft?
16:25:54 [npdoty]
WileyS: IRC +1/-1 seemed even, on two alternative options, no call for objection

Would it be appropriate to ask the editors -- Justin and Heather -- why they opted to make the June draft the editors draft?

v. throw away the hard work of the WG over the past 2 years
16:28:49 [fielding]
Thomas, a working group decision by the chairs is supposed to evaluate the objections provided by the working group participants, not invent objections based on external speaking points. Jeff Chester made an objection based on the FTC principles, which is why they were brought in. That does not justify bringing in comments from the FTC and EU commissioners. It doesn't make a difference for me, but we should be clear about what is appropriate to publish in a
16:28:50 [fielding]
clearly predetermined and prewritten opinion of the chairs that is supposed to weigh the opinions of the group.

Publication of a WD requires agreement of the working group. I know that no such agreement has been made because Aleecia very clearly objected, multiple times, and the chairs said we were not discussing that yet. The issue-215 decision did not mention WD publication and did not request objections on publication of the June draft as a WD.
16:35:01 [npdoty]
aleecia: agree with Shane. in order to replace a working draft or publish a last call working draft, we need to have consensus
16:35:39 [npdoty]
... rather than risk that, it makes more sense to check whether there is a preference for last working draft, go through the formal decision process to see which of these drafts we have a consensus on that

facts were just presented: NYT had the decision before the group. Not sure why we care, but it's pretty clear that was the case.

16:42:21 [aleecia]
so Rigo, if you debate that, sure, do so. No need for email.
16:42:28 [npdoty]
... from my perspective, the path to continue is to take the draft and change proposals and go one-by-one, have an opportunity to be done in a finite time
16:42:41 [johnsimpson]
What is the finite time that it will take to finish?
16:42:43 [jmayer]
My question: The chairs' process, as I understand it, precludes any amendments unless 1) made before the deadline and 2) not related to the major points of the DAA Proposal. For example, going forward, we would not be able to drop the language limiting unique IDs, nor would we be able to consider Yahoo!'s de-identification proposal. Is that understanding correct?
16:42:58 [npdoty]

Alan: if the NYT had a decision before the comments came in, you'd have a point, but that does not appear to in any way be the case.
16:45:45 [npdoty]
jmayer: re-ask prior question within the scope of path forward, process you're proposing going issue by issue working through amendments
16:45:53 [Chapell]
Aleecia: then why not be open about it? I have lots of respct for Peter - I doubt he would release without full knowledge of w3c staff.
16:46:09 [npdoty]
... would it include preclusion I sent to the mailing list, amendments that weren't timely, or amendments that were part of the DAA proposal (215)

16:46:18 [Zakim]
Thomas, you wanted to clarify one point
16:46:25 [Chapell]
yet, w3C staff is denying it.
16:46:27 [npdoty]
schunter: would start with the concrete text on the table, rather than opening to arbitrary proposals on the table
16:46:33 [aleecia]
Alan: and this is my frustration. A quick "yah, the timing on that fell over by a few hours" was all we need to be done.done.done with this topic. Rather than pushing to private email.

16:46:55 [rigo]
q-
16:47:20 [npdoty]
tlr: if you look at the decision that was reached, and how it was described in call for change proposals, what we have before us is a set of change proposals
16:47:33 [npdoty]
... an interlinked set from NAI and a few others was looked at first
16:47:42 [npdoty]
... that proposal is, as such, off the table
16:47:58 [aleecia]
Alan: at a substantive level, I think there is no actual issue here. The idea that a decision was in place but text to the group was still being word smithed, particularly with time zone issues, seems entirely plausible and reasonable.
16:48:00 [npdoty]
... Process is to go through the issues, some we have one or more texts,
16:48:25 [npdoty]
... ask for counter-proposals and wordsmithing
16:48:36 [npdoty]
... up to the discretion of the chairs on whether to re-open issues
16:48:41 [npdoty]
... some judgment required
16:48:44 [WileyS]
"With additional counter proposals"
16:49:03 [npdoty]
... maybe we're seeing convergence towards that in one or two cases
16:49:12 [npdoty]
... that will take a little while, and a lot of work
16:49:34 [jchester2]
Thomas--We need an answer to Jonathan's questions.
16:49:36 [Chapell]
Aleecia: I'm not sure why the decision needed to be communicated to the press prior to the WG at all. Perhaps this is common in the W3C?
16:49:41 [npdoty]
jmayer: didn't get an answer, is there estoppel at work regarding the decisions that have been made
16:49:51 [npdoty]
tlr: the Working Group decision on ISSUE-215 stands
16:49:58 [npdoty]
jmayer: so are those amendments prohibited in future?
16:49:58 [susanisrael]
*Rigo, was that a serious comment?
16:50:09 [fielding]
no, "those sorts" are not included in the objections considered.
16:50:11 [rvaneijk]

16:50:21 [johnsimpson]
Can Shane propose the Red/Yellow/Green de-identification plan?
16:50:37 [npdoty]
schunter: if on a particular issue we have multiple choices

16:51:17 [aleecia]
Alan: I don't have a problem with the co-chairs notifying press about major decisions in the TPWG. I'm not sure why that would be problematic. At a social level, sure, no one hear likes reading about decisions in the press rather than on our mailing list. But it is not substantive.

Lmastria_DAA: heard that it was the 24th, but maybe not at Sunnyvale
17:05:43 [tlr]
text from sunnyvale: "At the close of the Face-to-Face Meeting on May 6-8, 2013 in Sunnyvale, the Tracking Protection Working Group has consensus that there was sufficient progress during the meeting to merit moving ahead with the Do Not Track standard, toward the July 2013 Last Call deadline."

minutes Juli 10: peterswire: What I've said before is that we need an affirmative decision by the group about whether to continue after July, and the way to do that is to have input on this fork in the road.

To summarize what I believe has happened: (a) in sunnyvale there was an agreement to continue working, (b) the "deadline" of end of July was aspirational, not binding, as reflected in the text of the decision in sunnyvale.

npdoty: I doubt that there is consensus in this working group on having enough information to go forward
17:15:16 [Chapell]
The chairs are selectively interpreting so many of the data points that its difficult for those of us who are not on the inside to understand what happened, why, and how we can move forward

Chapell: minus the attacks on the chairs I pretty much agree on being very confused
17:17:48 [npdoty]
... seems now there may be an implicit decision otherwise, I find that unacceptable, going against a clear process that we had an understanding of before
17:17:49 [aleecia]
(for scribing, jmayer is going through point by point places where Peter said we needed an affirmative decision to continue.)
17:18:02 [npdoty]

17:18:24 [npdoty]
... 2) we don't know now which commitments from the chair are firm and which aren't
17:18:37 [Chapell]
This cuts at my question re: process. The WG is somehow supposed to KNOW what Peter's criteria were for his decision. Conversely, the WG is also supposed to KNOW not to take Peter's previous committment to end of july deadline

My first point: the chairs again and again reaffirmed that a deadline extension would require an "affirmative decision." The chairs have no departed from that process.
17:20:35 [Walter]
s/no/now
17:20:42 [npdoty]
dan_auerbach_: appreciate all the work the chairs have done, agree you're working very hard, share concerns about no longer needing an affirmative decision to go forward

My second point: 1) we don't know what commitments are firm or mere "dicta", 2) we don't know how long this path forward is supposed to take, 3) we don't know what amendments are in order, 4) we don't know which base text we're using (ISSUE-214)

Let's do a vote for the record. There is a sense that the Co-Chairs and WC3 staff do not have the confidence of the group.
17:22:17 [npdoty]
dan_auerbach_: July deadline will have passed, for WG members that do not believe it's a legitimate process after July that's a problem
17:22:17 [Walter]
It is not uncommon for a group then to take an explicit decision on that
17:22:23 [jchester2]
Does the Chair and Thomas refuse to hold a straw poll vote?

Straw polls are a routine part of W3C procedure.

17:24:19 [tlr]
jeff, we're listening to your opinion right now.
17:24:19 [aleecia]
while i find it exceedingly unwise, the co-chair is entirely empowered to not hold a straw poll vote.
17:24:33 [fielding]
fwiw, the LC deadline is something the chairs negotiate with the W3C, not something we get to play with … the deadlines that Peter mentioned were more personal in nature … regardless, taking a break for a few weeks and *then* taking a vote on the way forward is effectively the same as making a decision now.

In summary, there is no opportunity for a go/no-go vote. That path is not supported by the W3C Staff and Co-Chairs.

schunter: at some point we have to agree, or get a majority of stakeholders to move forward, a Working Group consisting of only two chairs doesn't make sense
17:27:57 [fielding]
Do we have a commitment from the W3C staff that they won't make any more (assinine) comments to the press about our progress until the group is given a chance to determine its own progress?

Matthias has twice now suggested the way to disagree is to exit the group. That's more than a little concerning.
17:28:39 [aleecia]
However, we do need a consensus agreement to publish another WD
