Battery

Test report updated (per ACTION-762), now awaiting next steps from Director decision

fjh: still waiting, correct?

anssik: yes

Vibration PER

PER transition request submitted

fjh: Vibration API fjh: PER transition request (members only chairs list) https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2016JulSep/0017.html

approve Errata for Vibration REC via CfC? -

1. WebIDL reference updated to WebIDL-1

2. Page Visibility reference updated to Page Visibility 2

fjh: I think we need an errata for these two items for the existing rec
... do you agree?
... if we get the PER out then it will be the latest so this probably not needed, so lets not do this if the PER comes out
... will talk with Dom

Sensor

fjh: question from last meeting
... Start wide review by horizontal groups or wait till more feedback gets integrated? (hoping to hear from Anssi)
... my sense is we should wait

anssik: asked Intel people to give feedback but not sure all has been given since summer
... most recent opened issue is informative
... cannot say we have given all the feedback yet, so do wide review later

fjh: that is my sense as well
... we will do wide review later

Proximity

fjh: New generic sensor-based draft of proximity, https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2016Jun/0052.html
... Call for consensus to publish WD, https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2016Jun/0073.html
... Completed successfully
... next step to publish a WD

<anssik> https://rawgit.com/w3c/proximity/wd/releases/WD-proximity-20160714.html

anssik: using bikeshed tool so cannot do automatic publishing

fjh: I will make publication request for next Tuesday

anssik: I've checked it for errors already

<anssik> https://rawgit.com/w3c/proximity/wd/releases/WD-proximity-20160719.html

fjh: have you seen fingerprinting issue; I have concern that if we remove everything related to fingerprinting there might not be much utility left

anssik: yes, always a tradeoff for sensors

fjh: I think this one should have more list/issue discussion

<anssik> For the Record: WD snapshots pass the current Pubrules checker (not the new one) for the relevant parts. Complains about Copyright Information section because the Pubrules does not recognise the permissive document license.

WakeLock API

fjh: Wide review has been started
... see chairs list
... Wake Lock API request for wide review (members only chairs list) https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2016JulSep/0015.html
... PING meeting scheduled, 28 July 2016 at UTC 16
... I won't be able to attend that call, Andrey will attend

Andrey_Logvinov: i will attend

fjh: is there more to discuss on this now?

Andrey_Logvinov: no

TPAC

fjh: I won't be able to attend TPAC, but Tobie, Anssi, Dom and others should be there
