Thanks for the great description in the events document!

1) Is there or will there be **documentation** that describes the schema for the ultimate data set in a public, complete, and accurate way?

Yes, there is documentation in the probe definition files and the [Probe Dictionary](https://probes.telemetry.mozilla.org/).

2) Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes, the [Firefox telemetry opt-out](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-data-mozilla-help-improve-firefox).

3) If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

Yes, :zbraniecki and :vchin.

4) Using the **[category system of data types](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection)** on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 1, technical data.

5) Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

Default-on.

6) Does the instrumentation include the addition of **any *new* identifiers** (whether anonymous or otherwise; e.g., username, random IDs, etc.  See the appendix for more details)?

No.

7) Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

Yes.

8) Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data?

n/a; permanent collection.

9) Does the data collection use a third-party collection tool?

No.

Not sure I understand this. This is in 81 which will be beta in just over a week. What's the urgency to get this in 80?

Jimm wanted to consider uplifting it. NI on him to say if he thinks we should push for uplift or wait for merge.
