 Dear Dominique Hazael-Massieux ,

The Device APIs and Policy Working Group has reviewed the comments you
sent [1] on the Last Call Working Draft [2] of the Contacts API published
on 16 Jun 2011. Thank you for having taken the time to review the document
and to send us comments!

The Working Group's response to your comment is included below.

Please review it carefully and let us know by email at
public-device-apis@w3.org if you agree with it or not before 1 September
2011. In case of disagreement, you are requested to provide a specific
solution for or a path to a consensus with the Working Group. If such a
consensus cannot be achieved, you will be given the opportunity to raise a
formal objection which will then be reviewed by the Director during the
transition of this document to the next stage in the W3C Recommendation

Thanks,
