Do Not Track Framework Doc Stirs Controversy Ahead of W3C Meeting
Document was not a DAA proposal, W3C co-chair explains
A document distributed to members of the international group trying to come up with a Do Not Track standard is causing a lot of fuss, dividing meeting attendees even before they meet in California next week—rendering the meeting practically moot.
The "Draft Framework for DNT Discussions Leading Up to Face-to-Face" was distributed Monday during a conference call to members of the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) tracking protection working group, which is meeting May 6-8.
Established two years ago, the group has had little success in coming up with a voluntary Do Not Track standard that all the stakeholders, from privacy hawks to the ad industry, can buy into.
