+About archived repository
+-------------------------
+
+After careful consideration of the feedback received during the Working Draft review period, 
+the [Devices and Sensors Working Group](https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/das/) has decided to publish 
+this [Geolocation Sensor specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-sensor/) as 
+a [Discontinued Draft](https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#discontinuedREC). 
+The Working Group acknowledges that there are still [open issues](https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-sensor/issues) and 
+improvements that can be made to the specification, 
+but given the limited resources available, it is not feasible to continue active development at this time. 
+The Working Group encourages the community to continue contributing to 
+the [Background Geolocation use cases](https://github.com/w3c/geolocation/issues/214) 
+(at the [w3c/geolocation repository](https://github.com/w3c/geolocation) for 
+the [geolocation specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation/)) 
+for consideration in future work. 
+The Working Group remains committed to advancing web standards and will explore opportunities 
+to revisit this specification in the future when resources permit. 
+(Also see discussions at [#62](https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-sensor/issues/62) (Background geofencing), 
+[#39](https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-sensor/issues/39) (Background geolocation and user privacy issues) or 
+[#60](https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-sensor/issues/60) for background.)
+
+If you have any comment or suggestion, the Working Group welcomes any feedback email to 
+[public-device-apis@w3.org](mailto:public-device-apis@w3.org) with subject line `[geolocation-sensor] … message topic …`.
