One small addition is the need for us to check that the proposed 
specification shortname don't conflict with existing ones.

For Phase 1, we have:

Alarm    -->  web-alarms              FPWD 5 Feb 2013
Contacts -->  contacts-manager-api    FPWD expected today

The following are still in the pipeline and need shortnames:

Execution & Security Models
Messaging
Telephony
Raw Sockets

The Device APIs WG has a historical published Working Draft with the 
short name "messaging-api", see:

     http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/messaging/
     http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-messaging-api-20110414/

So we may want to avoid "messaging-api". However, if we want to re-use 
that one, I can ask the Device APIs WG if they are agreeable to that, 
given that they have suspended work on it. I would also need to seek 
confirmation from the webmaster that this is okay, given the change of 
working group. Should I give this a try, or should we seek a new short name?

Any suggestions for the remaining Phase 1 deliverable short names?
