Dear Kantara Initiative Community: This is a reminder of formal notification that the Anchored Notice and Consent Receipt Work Group (ANCR) has approved the following document as a Draft Recommendation and its distribution for Public Comment and IPR Review:  Document: Transparency Performance Reporting: A Tool for Assessment of Digital Identification Surveillance Version: 1.0 Document Date: 2025-02-12 Notice and Document available HERE. In accordance with the Kantara Initiative Operating Procedures, this document now enters a 45-day public comment and IPR review period in preparation for an All-Member Ballot to consider its approval as a Kantara Initiative Recommendation.  This is an open invitation to comment. Kantara Initiative solicits feedback from potential users, developers, and other interested parties, whether Kantara Initiative members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work. Public Review and IPR Review Period Opens: 2025-03-21, 01:00 PM ET Review Period Closes: 2025-05-05, 01:00 PM ET Document Abstract: Transparency Performance Reporting (TPR) is a novel approach to digital transparency and data control reporting. TPR clarifies when a notice and consent receipt is required and its validity and provides a litmus test for valid consent. TPR uses 4 transparency performance indicators (TPIs) – the timing of the notice, the content of the notice, access and usefulness of the notice, and sovereignty of authority and security – to measure the transparency of the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Controller notice of risk to the personal data of the PII Principal. This represents a significant advancement for decentralizing digital identification and data surveillance governance within data flows. TPR includes mapping to privacy frameworks including Convention 108+, a commonwealth data governance framework that covers 2.5 billion people, and with it an interoperable set of requirements for security and privacy. The mappings show how the TPIs address the requirements for records of processing activities (GDPR Article 30), enable services to be accountable to international (internet) standards for data governance, and create a technical record foundation in a common set of rules allowing people to have their authoritative records of digital identification relationships.   TPR was developed through volunteer work over three years in the Kantara Initiative Anchored Notice and Consent Receipt Work Group (ANCR)as a means of understanding and addressing ubiquitous platform and application surveillance while promoting glass-box security and privacy legal standards. ____________________ Kantara invites your review of this document and asks that you submit any comments and proposed revisions on or before 2025-05-05.  As this deadline will be strictly adhered to, late submissions will not be taken into account.
