+              For particularly privacy-sensitive [=features=], such as [[[GETUSERMEDIA]]],
+              which can provide access
+              to a user's camera and microphone, user agents are known to expire a permission
+              [=permission/grant=] as soon as a browser tab is closed or navigated.
+              For other features, like the [[[Geolocation]]], user agents are known to offer a choice of
+              only granting the permission for the session, or for one day. Others, like the [[[Notifications]]] and [[[push-api]]] APIs,
+              remember a user's decision indefinitely or until the user manually denies the permission.

+              Finding the right balance for the lifetime of a permission requires a lot of
+              thought and experimentation, and often evolves over a long period of time (often years!).
+              Implementers are encouraged to work with their UX security teams to find the right balance

They are definitely a team. We had one at Mozilla at the Toronto and Vancouver offices and they were awesome. I guess on the Google side, it would be Adrienne Porter Felt and co. (maybe, not sure if they are still doing this kind of work). Happy to rephrase this tho.
