[CfC] Call for Consensus to transition "Media Capture and Streams" to Last Call: Deadline 10 April 2015

This is a Call for Consensus to transition "Media Capture and Streams" [a] to Last Call.

The deadline to respond is 10 April 2015. Please reply to this email to indicate support or to express any concern, even a +1 to indicate support is useful. Silence will be considered support. 

This draft is the work of the Media Capture Task Force [b] , and the following is the text of the CfC shared on the Web-RTC mail list [c], giving more information. Note that this deliverable is joint between DAP and Web-RTC, hence a CfC on both lists.

 <>After long and hard work by the MediaCapture TF we're now in the
situation that we have a new Editor's draft [1] and *no* open Pull
Requests or Issues (except for a couple labeled "After Last Call") [2].

We think this is the right time to move to Last Call. LC does not mean
that every detail is frozen and settled, but it is a signal that the
group thinks that the document is ready for wider review and that it
satisfies relevant technical requirements [3].

In particular, as the task force has already gone through several
pre-last call reviews of the document, we expect that interested parties 
in the group have already had the opportunity to review the document and 
concerns that would be raised (if any) would be limited to recent 
changes brought to the document as part of our efforts in closing issues.

There is one outstanding question, namely the requirement on the API
to provide a mechanism for the requesting application to indicate if it
requests a long term or one-time permission to use input devices [4].
However, [4] is a document developed by the IETF rtcweb WG which will 
discuss if this requirement can be removed. If the outcome is that it 
cannot be removed, that input can be given during the LC period.

Due to to ongoing IETF meeting and the upcoming holidays we will let
this CfC run until end of *April 10th 2015*. Explicit responses to this
CfC are preferred, silence will be interpreted as being in agreement.

Harald and Stefan
