You don't need to join the task force to have an opinion, but if you 
want to join, you join the mailing list.

The task force charter says that it is governed by the IPR commitments 
of both the DAP and the WEBRTC working groups, so if we ever have to do 
a formal vote, we'll count organizations that are members of both DAP 
and WEBRTC to determine consensus in the task force, and count 
organizations that are members of either DAP or W3C to determine if the 
parent WGs have consensus to agree with the task force recommendations.

I haven't found a reason to have a formal vote in the W3C yet.

The deadline for comments is Monday February 20 and all comments should be sent to public-device-apis at w3.org. We can then publish 23 February, assuming that works for the W3C team and editors.
