We've commonly heard (at workshops in July '10, December '10 and April '11, for example) that W3C should have a venue for discussing and addressing ongoing and upcoming privacy issues. To that end, we're proposing a Privacy Interest Group, with a draft charter now available.

Feedback from the public (and this list in particular) would be most helpful.

I'm imagining this group as a place to discuss new issues (via public-privacy), spin off Recommendation-track work as necessary, develop guidelines for handling privacy considerations and provide advice to other groups for handling privacy in Web specifications. How do *you* think a group like this should function?

Discussion is welcome on this list, or feel free to send me feedback offline.

Thanks,
Nick
