Re: CFC Add Device Sensors to Editors Draft

in one of the next telcos following your objection - what is the WG
protocol in these cases?

In the absence of a specific protocol, I too agree that we may have been a
bit hasty, and that further discussion is warranted here. Josh and Andrew,
can this topic be re-added to the agenda for Tuesday 6/27? Steve has raised
valid points which I believe warrant the additional review. Thanks!

readers, face detection, voise detection etc (I have not seen any that do
that but it seems feasible / likely to happen).

These are happening now: "OK Google", (Cortana, Siri, Alexa) for speech
input that commences a more complex action (searching), and I now have
multiple apps on my cell phone that allows for my thumb-print to "log-in".
The future is now :-)
