Despite its name, the ID draft-avtcore-srtp aes-gcm actually supports two (2) AEAD  modes of operation, GCM and CCM.  There are known GCM based developments underway, but  at a telechat held yesterday to discuss this ID it became apparent that no one participating in the chat was aware of ANY use of CCM in SRTP.  Hence it was suggested we purge CCM from the current ID  

This is a call to the mailing list to see if anyone is aware of any concrete existing projects underway that use CCM mode in SRTP.  If there are none, CCM will be eliminated from the current ID. 

(Note that if at some date in the future someone wishes to deploy CCM in SRTP, a simple cut and paste from previous drafts of the current ID can be used to craft a new CCM only ID.)
