fjh: there's been a lot of discussion on the list
... i think it's still ongoing
... i'm behind on my reading

<glenn> +Present glenn (irc only)

fjh: if someone is current and can summarize

dtran: i checked in edits for the latest round of comments on the spec
... there's some concerns about DeviceOrientation relating to the GeoLocation WG API
... so either we feed that information back to the GeoLocation WG
... or we leave it in our API
... I think there's some comment on getting the requirement to the GeoLocation WG

fjh: you did the edits of all the agreeable stuff
... you removed the duplicated bits
... and the list has requirements which could/should be shared to the GeoLocation WG
... but that hasn't been done yet

dtran: right

fjh: who has an action to do that?

dtran: either bryan or myself

fjh: there must have been an action

<fjh> note - check who has action to contact geolocation, bryan or dzung tran
