Hi WGs-- This past week at IIW a session was held (I wasn't able to attend the session itself) about an IEEE project to develop "machine readable personal privacy terms":

https://standards.ieee.org/develop/project/7012.html

"The purpose of the standard is to provide individuals with means to proffer their own terms respecting personal privacy, in ways that can be read, acknowledged and agreed to by machines operated by others in the networked world. In a more formal sense, the purpose of the standard is to enable individuals to operate as first parties in agreements with others--mostly companies--operating as second parties. Note that the purpose of this standard is not to address privacy policies, since these are one-sided and need no agreement. (Terms require agreement; privacy policies do not.)"

This seems to have potential relevance for Consent Receipts, User Submitted Terms, UMA, and UMA Legal.

Joyce Searls was the one announcing the session during agenda creation, so I managed to speak with her prior to the scheduled session, and she shared this link with me afterwards. She also said "Take a look at the write up and click through to register interest. We will be having our first formal meeting within a month or so."
