I share this reservation.  I also think that this could undermine the work
that has been done with respect to user consent in other areas.
Specifically the Media Capture task force and the Geolocation working
group.  I'd expect statements in the charter regarding liaison with
affected groups at a minimum, if not actual prior consultation (and I've
seen no evidence of that).
