Taking DPs to the Next Level

Although we're just starting here at DP.org to build adoption by bloggers and expectations by audiences, some folks are already thinking about ways to take Disclosure Policies even further. Nick Wilson, co-founder of Performancing.com, sees the potential of some XML-based Disclosure Policy standards similar to P3P -- allowing browsers to alert users when a Disclosure Policy is present and provide a built-in button for viewing. There are also ways this builds flexibility across media types/players.

As I've said many times, transparency is bigger than affiliate links, sponsored posts or non-cash influence buying and I like the scope of Nick's thinking. It all starts with a basic Disclosure Policy and links from every page -- we can build from there.

You can hear Nick's Disclosure Policy thoughts towards the end of his podcast here (including some worthwhile SiteMaps coverage). Nick also mentioned he'll be unveiling his own Disclosure Policy soon. His adoption sets a great example for all Performancing members and probloggers.
