Fwd: Proposed Charter for the Devices and Sensors Working Group (Call for Review)

Colleagues,

This morning a draft (re-)charter for the Devices and Sensors WG was 
sent to the W3C AC for review.  Since sensors and devices have many 
privacy implications, I encourage you to take a look at the charter and 
offer comments.

Here is the charter text:

   https://w3c.github.io/dap-charter/DeviceAPICharter.html

I encourage substantive discussion to happen on the WG's own mailing 
list: public-device-apis@w3.org.

Simple textual suggestions may instead be filed as github issues or pull 
requests:

   https://github.com/w3c/dap-charter

AC reps should file statements of support/non-support using the form 
linked below.

Dear Advisory Committee Representative,

This is a Call for Review of a proposed revised charter for the Devices 
and Sensors Working Group:

   https://w3c.github.io/dap-charter/DeviceAPICharter.html

Please review the charter and indicate your support using this online form:

   https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/DAS-2018/

Please also raise any substantive comments on the WG's mailing list 
public-device-apis@w3.org.

The deadline for responses is 23:59, Boston time on 25 May 2018.

The most important changes from the previous charter are:
   - Added gyroscope, magnetometer, DeviceOrientation Event, and 
geolocation APIs to the group's deliverables.
   - Removed media capture, address books, messaging applications, and 
similar non-sensor APIs from the group's scope of work.
   - Reduced team support from .2 FTE to .1 FTE.

A diff [1] showing changes between the new and old charter is available.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Samuel Weiler, Privacy and Security Strategist, at weiler@w3.org.

This charter review follows section 5 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director,
