Further details (optional):

- Relevant time constraints or deadlines: we plan to advance to CR around 1Q'18 assuming positive feedback from the origin trial and you! Feedback from TAG by the end of 2017 would be nice.
- [x] I have read and filled out the [Self-Review Questionnare on Security and Privacy](https://www.w3.org/TR/security-privacy-questionnaire/). The [assessment is here](https://github.com/w3c/sensors/blob/master/security-questionnaire.md).
- [x] I have reviewed the TAG's [API Design Principles](https://w3ctag.github.io/design-principles/)

You should also know that...

- We have prepared a [Changelog](https://github.com/w3c/sensors/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) documenting the differences from the [W3C Working Draft 24 March 2016](https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-generic-sensor-20160324/) TAG reviewed earlier to make this revisit a pleasant experience for you.
- We have addressed all your feedback provided during the earlier review in https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/110 and https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/115
- Generic Sensor-based sensors in scope for this TAG review are available as an [origin trial](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/sensors-for-the-web) starting in Chrome 63.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please select one):

- [x] open issues in our Github repo for each point of feedback
