Thanks Vincent.

Some FYIs for All regarding the process-related points ...

* Given WebApps' distributed and asynchronous [WorkMode], we have agreed 
to precede all first CfCs for Last Call with a 1-2 week pre-LC review 
period. It's been a while since we have done one of those, thus I had 
forgotten to start that review and I'm sorry about that.


* Re the link to the bug database, I think all of our specs (from EDs 
on) should  include a link to their bug db so I will ask other Editors 
to that too [I wasn't picking on Vincent ;-)].


-Thanks, Art

This is a Call for Consensus to publish a LCWD of Pointer Lock using 
the following document as the basis for the LC 
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/pointerlock/raw-file/tip/index.html.


This CfC satisfies the group's requirement to record the group's 
decision to request advancement for this LCWD. Note the Process 
Document states the following regarding the significance/meaning of a 
LCWD:


[[
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#last-call

Purpose: A Working Group's Last Call announcement is a signal that:

* the Working Group believes that it has satisfied its relevant 
technical requirements (e.g., of the charter or requirements document) 
in the Working Draft;


* the Working Group believes that it has satisfied significant 
dependencies with other groups;


* other groups SHOULD review the document to confirm that these 
dependencies have been satisfied. In general, a Last Call announcement 
is also a signal that the Working Group is planning to advance the 
technical report to later maturity levels.

]]

The proposed LC review period is 4 weeks.

If you have any comments or concerns about this CfC, please send them 
to public-webapps@w3.org by October 4 at the latest. Positive response 
is preferred and encouraged and silence will be considered as 
agreement with the proposal.


Hi All - given the discussion in the Is Pointer Lock feature complete 
i.e. LC ready? thread (see f.ex. [1] and follow-ons), it appears we 
don't yet have consensus the spec is ready for LCWD.


As such, I recommend we work toward consensus on the issues raised in 
this thread before proceeding with the LCWD. To help people track the 
issues raised, perhaps it would be helpful to create a related bug [2] 
(and to add a link to [2] in Status of the Document section).
