Hi All,

Arun completed processing the comments [Comments] for the Last Call version of File API [LCWD]. Although the comments resulted in changes to the spec (see [Diff]), no new features were added and the changes are considered bug fixes. The most significant change is the Constructor APIs in Section 7 - see [Section-7].

Arun proposes the spec be advanced to Candidate Recommendation and this is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to publish a CR using the following version as the basis:

  <http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/>

This CfC satisfies: a) the group's requirement to "record the group's decision to request advancement" to CR; and b) "General Requirements for Advancement on the Recommendation Track" as defined in the Process Document <http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#transition-reqs>.

Note the Status of the Document section and References in the Draft CR need some changes.

I propose 3 months as the minimal amount of time before we are ready to advance the spec to Propose Recommendation and I propose we re-use the CR exit criteria we used for the IDB CR:

[[
During the Candidate Recommendation period, which ends @T+3months, the WG will complete its test suite. Before this specification exits Candidate Recommendation, two or more independent implementations must pass each test, although no single implementation must pass each test. The group will also create an Implementation Report.
]]

If anyone has feedback regarding features that could be marked "at risk", please speak up during this CfC.

Positive response to this CfC is preferred and encouraged and silence will be considered as agreeing with the proposal. The deadline for comments is November 28 and all comments should be sent to public-webapps @ w3.org.

-Thanks, ArtB
