<trackbot> Date: 18 June 2014
<Chris_M> just joined the call
<scribe> scribenick: npdoty
justin: 5 issues to go over
today
... today is the end of the Last Call comments period
... chairs meeting to talk about how to sort through
comments/objections/concerns
justin: in the meantime, working on compliance issues (not all that many left)
<justin> https://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Change_Proposal_First_Party_Compliance
justin: first-party compliance has been under discussion for a while
<ninja> Call for Objections starting today
justin: will go to Call for
Objections starting today
... 1) vinay (susan israel, others): doesn't limit append
... 2) john simpson (mike): can't combine with other @@
data
... have delineated the options, which are now clear, send out
for Call for Objections tonight
... we've been doing well in avoiding having to go to Call for
Objections, but in some cases may be inevitable
<Chris_M> someone put us on hold
justin: context separation we've
been discussing a lot, we're close but wanted to check one more
time whether there were changes or additional options
... the first would be no limitation at all on use of data that
was collected as a first party
... Walter's proposal limits use of data collected from
previous network interactions
... these proposals are pretty solidified now, but: ask
questions, propose friendly amendments
<justin> https://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Change_Proposals_on_data_minimization
justin: third issue is data minimization
current section http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/drafts/tracking-compliance.html#data-minimization-and-transparency
<johnsimpson> Apologies,sorry about my phone. I screwed up..
justin: mike's proposal (additional revisions not yet on the wiki?) regarding persistent identifers
johnsimpson: status on issue-170? going to call for objections on that?
<moneill2> my skype conncetion is bad, I will ring back
justin: yes, different groups on that. options are now precise. will announce call for objections later today
johnsimpson: thanks.
justin: roy had objected to the
technical language of mike's proposal, but neither fielding nor
mike on the call at this moment, so maybe follow up on mailing
list
... haven't heard additional proposals that would provide more
flexibility. if you want to propose language, please feel
free
<ninja> justin, I think Mike just re-joined the call
<moneill2> ninja, thanks
npdoty: issue-233 was a proposal from Jack to use language of minimized rather than limited
justin: might be editorial, can just go ahead with it.
<JackHobaugh> I don’t have any more to offer than what is already stated in Issue-233
npd: current language doesn't specify a type of party, so I don't think that would be a change
ChrisPedigoOPA: would be concerned about making it party-neutral
JackHobaugh: agree that "minimized" is just editorial. regarding party-neutral I think it already just talks about "a party" so I'm not sure why it was limited to third parties
justin: it's within Third Party Compliance section
JackHobaugh: could throw it open to the WG for suggestions
ChrisPedigoOPA: would be a simple change to add third-party if that's what it meant anyway
<justin> npdoty: This is about permitted uses, so it should be pretty clear that this only applies to third parties.
<Chris_M> AUS 1 NED 1
justin: nick could take a look
again regarding textual ambiguity
... or if someone has a proposal to make it more clear, that
would be welcome
... seems like we're all agreed on what's intended
<scribe> ACTION: doty to update data minimization section regarding minimized/limited and clarity about when it applies [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/06/18-dnt-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-453 - Update data minimization section regarding minimized/limited and clarity about when it applies [on Nick Doty - due 2014-06-25].
walter: because we're talking about permitted uses, clear that it's a third party issue. proportionality of data use would make sense for first party even though we wouldn't interpret that as applying to first parties
<ChrisPedigoOPA> I'll propose some language
justin: would be great for first parties to apply minimization/proportionality, but discussion is about clarity of this section
<justin> https://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Change_Proposal_Tracking_Third_Party_Compliance
justin: haven't talked about this
in great detail, but came up via fielding on the mailing
list
... have defined "tracking" but not really using it within
TCS
<ninja> ISSUE-203: Use of "tracking" in third-party compliance https://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/203
<trackbot> Notes added to ISSUE-203 Use of "tracking" in third-party compliance.
justin: dsinger had a proposal
about referring to "tracking information"
... fielding had a proposal to instead describe exactly which
tracking status values should be used
<dsinger> yikes, I wrote this a year ago!
justin: is it possible to combine these two? or iterate?
justin: can discuss on the mailing list, rather than putting dsinger on the spot right now
<dsinger> yes, I think we can easily merge these two
<justin> https://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/97
(dsinger, I had preferred your original proposal; generally I like having the extra detail in this document to elaborate on our one sentence definition of tracking)
justin: link shorteners/trackers -- how does this apply to them? if I click on a bit.ly link, what kind of party is the provider to an interaction?
<dsinger> well, either the link shortener is the first and the final target a third, or vice versa? The user will not typically be aware of one of (a) that a link shortener is in use or (b) where the link shortener will actually go.
justin: I've previously argued that users are trying to get to the end page
<WileyS> Its very clear to a user they are about to click through their service if the URL is visible - nothing forces the user to click through to see their NY Times article.
justin: Ian Fette previously had suggested otherwise (perhaps supported by Shane)
dsinger: user is either unaware
of where the link shortener goes to (clicked on bit.ly, don't
know the end point)
... or alternatively, knows they're going to NYT (via anchor
text) and wasn't aware of the link shortener
<WileyS> Crazy to me that people trust link shortners - but they are clearly the initial 1st party in the most common context
dsinger: informative text along these lines?
<moneill2> yest another thorny issue resulting from 1p/3p
<dsinger> yes, the 3rd/1st split might have been a mistake, but by the time we realized, the majority felt we were too far down that road
<justin> Well, it's about user intent, which isn't solved by just getting rid of 1p/3p distinction.
npdoty: when we discussed previously, I talked with some link shortener folks
<dsinger> the point of getting rid of 1st/3rd would be precisely to getthe unmeasurable user intent out of the normative requirements...
npdoty: more common cases will be
first party/service providers for either the home site or the
destination site
... link shorteners that are somehow in the middle (no relation
to either end) would not be part of an intentional
interaction
<WileyS> Agree on redirects
<WileyS> +q
ninja: this is also a part of a bundle of issues regarding identity providers. not sure it's the same on all redirects
justin: what other redirects did you have in mind?
<dsinger> yes, intermediate redirects are clearly neither what I clicked on nor where I thought I was going. They are easy
ninja: for example, if a site has several redirects across multiple parties, multiple link shorteners before arriving at a newspaper article
WileyS: search engine marketing
companies are a common example here. clicking on a sponsored
search result initially goes to the search engine; but
sometimes an SEM before redirecting on to the advertiser
... in some cases that would be a service provider to the
advertiser
<walter> I might
WileyS: but aware of some cases where it might be a traditional third party, ad network that combines that data across different advertiser endpoints
<WileyS> Not me
justin: someone to write text to explain these situations?
<moneill2> i could help walter
walter: don't think users are aware of the link shortener based on the URL
<ninja> justin, I will try to dig out your language
justin: might be old language
(from me or others) on issue-97 you can find
... haven't discussed in a while, it would be good to get text
proposals
<ninja> ISSUE-99: https://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/99
<trackbot> Notes added to ISSUE-99 How does DNT work with identity providers?.
npdoty: I'm not aware of the specific use case for identity provider
justin: if you're authenticated via a social network to a newspaper website
<walter> I can see that
<walter> As in, that makes sense
justin: if you're authenticating, seemed clear that would be a first-party involvement
justin: send some follow-up
emails regarding proposals
... will send one Call for Objections later today
<Chris_M> where's the link for last call on TPE?
<johnsimpson> thanks
<Chris_M> thanks
justin: sounds like dsinger had
possible updates on 203
... and walter to follow up regarding link shortening
... reminder, please get Last Call comments on TPE in today
<justin> ChrisM, provide comments to this email address: public-tracking-comments@w3.org
justin: thanks all
<ninja> justin, npdoty, I take the action on me to get the CfO out today
[adjourned]
