FW: Geolocation API is a W3C Proposed Edited Recommendation (Call for Review)

Errata has now been formally incorporated into the Geolocation API spec and is on its way to becoming a Recommendation.  Thanks to Kaz Ashimura/Dom Hazael-Massieux from the W3C for their work in making this happen, and to all those who worked so hard in coming up with this specification in years' past (especially Lars-Erik Bolstad, previous Geo WG Chair).

Subject: Geolocation API is a W3C Proposed Edited Recommendation (Call for Review)


Dear Advisory Committee representative,
Chairs,

W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of "Geolocation API Specification" to Proposed Edited Recommendation:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PER-geolocation-API-20150528/


The approval and publication are in response to this transition
request:
   https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2015AprJun/0093.html


Please review the specification and indicate whether you endorse it as a W3C Recommendation or object to its advancement by completing the following questionnaire:
   https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/geolocation-per/


Additional details about the review are available in the questionnaire.

The deadline for responses is 23:59, Boston time on 25 June 2015.

The new edition of Geolocation API contains no substantive changes but some corrections to the text.

The specification had to be updated due to the following changes as described in the Geolocation API Errata [1]:
- WebIDL improvements
- Conformance requirements
- References (HTML5, URI, WebIDL and RFC3066)
