[Chair hat off]

Intel has concerns about removing WebHID, WebNFC, WebUSB, Web Bluetooth and Web Serial from the charter's tentative deliverables.

From Intel's perspective, these APIs benefit from wide and horizontal review. This review, essential to preparing these APIs for global adoption by diverse users of the web, is best assured by keeping them within the Devices and Sensors WG's scope.

Thanks,

-Anssi
