I'm thrilled to announce Reilly Grant of Google is now officially joining me as the DAS WG co-chair. As many of you know, Reilly has been working on the Chromium project in the area related to this group's work. Reilly also brings extensive experience in editing web specifications for features that interact with devices and hardware to the group.

I look forward to chairing the DAS WG with Reilly. Welcome!

The Revised Charter also adds two new specifications to this group, namely:

* Geolocation Sensor
* DeviceOrientation Event

The transfer of these specs' repos to this group is in progress. Meanwhile, please get in touch with the chairs if you're interested in helping with either of these specifications as a contributor or as an editor.

And finally, an admin thing related to the Revised Charter you need to pay attention to:

A new Call for Participation in DAS WG was sent out on 29 June 2018 when the Revised Charter was approved. To continue participate, your organization must re-join the group by 13 August 2018 (next Monday) via the following online form available to Advisory Committee Representatives:

If your organization has not yet re-joined the group, please ask your AC rep to re-join you. If you're not sure, you may send a friendly notification to your AC rep by clicking the "Send request to join to AC Rep" on the above online form.

Any questions regarding re-joining, please contact the W3C Team Contact Fuqiao (cc'd).

Thanks,

-Anssi (Devices and Sensors WG co-chair)
