Hi ANCR,
Today is significant for a couple of reasons
1. am happy to also be informed that the IEEE paper abstract "Digital Forest Transparency Charter” acceptance, (see below)
2. I finally finished submitting required notice and complaints to Quebec Regulator, which were used to prototype the use of the TPI-Report
The TPI-Report turned into 3 TPI-Reports and 3 complaints, that required actually trying to use what was specified for the first time, make reports and assessment format, and then try and produce reports that hold water and make sense. An unexpectedly long and overly gruelling task, as the two companies /products that have been the hardest to hold to account have been Google Chrome and IAB, which are highly designed to circumvent these rules. In addition, I suspect we are the first to do this as it is is a job no one wants to do.
This first test of the TPI presented evidence, of deceit, fraud an malicious intent worthy of the maximum penalty, for 1 of the complaints which is 25 million or 4% of world wide turn over, and for IAB, 28 complaints at 50k, per complaint in a collective action complaint trial. So who knows, could be the TPI-R might demonstrate value through its prototype.
- Best,
Mark
