initial set of principles about measurement #52

Closed npdoty closed 6 months ago

npdoty commented 1 year ago

These principles have been referred to in measurement proposals already.

This is not an advocacy position, just documenting some common positions in shorter form.

This is not an exhaustive list of the principles, even the ones described so far by proposals in the group.

Addresses #49

npdoty commented 11 months ago

@tgreasby @csharrison are y'all okay with merging this as is? Or would you prefer an explicit qualifier that this is about inferences from having participated in the measurement?

npdoty commented 11 months ago

working on a revision to note the qualifier about participation in the measurement itself.

@csharrison @tgreasby please take a look at the updated clarification

eriktaubeneck commented 7 months ago

These a fine aspirational goals, but after thinking about them for a while, I'm not optimistic that they can be achieved.

I tend to agree with @martinthomson here if we are assuming that all of these need to be achieved technically within the standard that we design. However, if broaden the approach here to include an external auditing system which users could opt into (via a browser extension or something similar), these may become more achievable.

It would be helpful to distinguish which of these goals we believe should be managed technically by the system, and which of these should be managed by a subset of users opting into some sort of auditing system.

Agreement to merge for now and continue to define.
