Hi Devices and Sensors WG participants, I'm pleased to let you know Nick Doty from UC Berkeley has joined the Devices and Sensors WG as an Invited Expert. Nick has a strong history in the development of web standards that support online privacy, including Do Not Track and Tracking Protection. As a long-time Privacy Interest Group (PING) member, Nick is a familiar name to a number of the group's existing participants and has helped guide our work through horizontal privacy reviews. As a testament to our collective focus on privacy, Nick already rolled his sleeves up and submitted a spec patch [1] that defines a mitigation to a sensor calibration fingerprinting issue that has already been implemented in Chromium [2] in an effort to help also other browser vendors implement this mitigation in an interoperable manner. We look forward to working with Nick to continue further the group's mission of creating privacy-preserving client-side APIs that enable the development of web applications that interact with device capabilities. Thanks, -Anssi (DAS WG co-chair) [1] https://github.com/w3c/deviceorientation/pull/86 [2] https://crbug.com/1018180
