Move OTR to Privacy Working Group #645

Description

From AC Review:
[[
The new "Off-The-Record Response Header Field" (OTR) deliverable focuses
on addressing Privacy use-cases and as such it should instead be added as
an OPTIONAL deliverable for the Privacy Working Group charter to take up
if/when it has shown sufficient incubation. We believe it is an error (in
scope, choice of most appropriate Working Group to to do the work) to add
OTR to the list of deliverables for the Web Application Security Working
Group charter. We could live with OTR being taken up for consideration by
the Privacy CG.

We recommend the following actions, which do not require synchronization:

  • The Team should amend the proposed Web Application Security Working Group
    Charter to drop OTR
  • The Team should add OTR as an optional deliverable to the in-progress
    Privacy Working Charter, and then re-poll the AC with that updated Charter,
    which also resolves 2 of the 3 Formal Objections on the prior polled
    Privacy WG Charter. This also provides an opportunity to see if the
    remaining 3rd (anonymous) Formal Objection on the prior polled Privacy WG
    Charter is restated or not for the updated proposed Privacy WG Charter. We
    believe this path has a better chance of creating a Privacy Working Group
    charter more quickly than further delays in processing an anonymous Formal
    Objection on an outdated WG charter proposal.

We are objecting (suggesting changes) but are not making this a Formal
Objection because we believe this to be a W3C Team clerical error (putting
a new deliverable in the wrong Working Group) that the Team is empowered to
fix without having to exercise the full Formal Objection process and
mechanisms.
