Due to patent policy reasons, the next step for the Web Storage 2nd Edition spec in Web Platform Working Group would be to publish a FPCR (i.e. a CR which is also a FPWD). Given that the Web Applications working group isn't closed, we believe a PR under the WebApps WG will be the simplest feasible option for WebStorage 2nd Edition.

Positive response is preferred and encouraged, and silence will be considered as agreement with the proposal. If there are no non-resolvable objections to this proposal, the motion will carry and we will request the PR be published on November 05 2015.
