Privacy Principles for Web Advertising Features - Editorial Group

Writing the Privacy Principles for Web Advertising Features

Our Charter specifies we author a document that lays out our contexts and the principles we would want to set as our baseline expectations and shared understandings for privacy proposals. I expect that this work will start out of the minutes of the discussion we have in our meeting over the next two days and in some respects record and formalize some of the discussion there. Editors will be responsible for the first product: an outline of this document that we will then review before moving on to the next step.

I can take this on, it's a natural extension of the TAG's privacy work — though it's probably best if I don't do it alone. I also wonder if we want to limit it to just privacy or if we should generally document the principles that we feel are important as we build these things. We'll have to document them either way.

[alextcone]

I'll work with you, @darobin.

[gjlondon]

I'd also be interested in collaborating on this.

[bmayd]

I'm also interested.

I'd be interested also.

[appascoe]

I'd like to participate.

I might be in. But I think it would be nice to define the rationale/goals/aims. For example, what is the aim of the document? How is it to be used? Should it be 'prescriptive'? Important questions for structuring it.

I would also be interested, pending the point raised above by @lknik

[darobin]

@lknik & @jdelhommeau: when groups work on multiple distinct but related pieces of technology, they often stumble into more general principles. It's useful to document these so that people don't have to constantly revisit decided questions over the years. Groups haven't always been good at doing this, but the HTML Design Principles is one example. We already know that we will have to make establish privacy rules, hence the idea that this document will have to exist.

That's all I can usefully tell you at this time — it will be built organically. There's no need to commit to anything right now, the important thing for the group is that there are enough people who are interested and willing to participate. As soon as we have a principle to put in it, we can get the ball rolling.
