  • MVP
    • DNT? No 3rd party cookies / trackers? - Doc
    • Will we need some reply – consent receipts? - John
    • What about a DNT that is much more personal? - Doc
    • So "Block, and here are my prefs" - Mark
    • Whitelisting but personally held instead of centrally held - Doc
    • Place where terms live: MVP standard at CC and pointed to from Kantara / CISWG - Doc and Mary
    • Place where terms live for individual: local to user or is a blockchain for individual - Mary and Scott
      • Ex: when publishing a photo, the CC license and photo can be out in the world.. you just have the signal - Doc
      • Downside of broadcasting intent about terms may not work in all contexts - user prefs may not work in all instances, probably won't - Mark
      • Can we keep both contextual? - Mark
      • Where is the line for MVP and contextual? - Mary
      • Terms make more sense in the aggregate - Mark
    • Can't get stuck in worrying that server side can't yet respond, and yet there are some server side activities that want to respond but don't know how - Doc
    • Retail: shopping cart abandonment - John and Iain.. MVP could help
    • Some publishers are ready to drop 3rd party cookies and tracking immediately - Doc
