There was a substantive AC Representatives review comment regarding this deliverable, but it was a Team-only comment, and thus there's not much I can say about it. It's not my favorite way of operating, and I wish I could say more, but at the same time, I have to honor Member confidentiality. You can see my original charter proposal here (an earlier draft that includes the Geolocation API): http://www.w3.org/2007/12/WebApps-Charter/WebApp-Charter-2007-proposed http://www.w3.org/2007/12/WebApps-Charter/webapps-deliverables.html I want to reiterate that W3C is *not* dropping the Geolocation API... we merely propose to move it to a dedicated WG. I am ambivalent about this myself: on the one hand, I think there is considerable momentum and interest in doing this in the WebApps WG; on the other, it's a subject that many Members may want to join, who are not necessarily interested in other WebApps deliverables. There is something to be said for having a subject covered exclusively by a dedicated WG with a manageable mailing list load, too. :) Again, we are actively encouraging all interested parties to join this new Geolocation WG, and we will expedite its creation as far as we can. Don't panic. :) Regards- -Doug Schepers W3C Team Contact, SVG, CDF, and WebAPI
