Yes, we see their statements claiming that they have 'not taken a position'.
We also see their actions. Tim has personally dictated that the EME advance, and has dictated the form of the spec that has advanced. The EME is not a product of an open process, but a spec dictated by a narrow select group. The EME is Tim's specification, not the open webs specification. Sorry I do not consider this 'taking no position'. Stop claiming that the EME being advanced has any legitimacy as an open standard. cheers Fred Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 11:15:04 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Subject: Re: Trust I do feel bound to point out what Jeff and the staff have repeatedly said which is the W3C has not taken a position on whether EME should be approved or not. The topic is in scope (and, btw, it's always a big ask to suggest that a topic isn't even *discussed*), but that doesn't mean we will find an acceptable solution. The much more significant decision will be whether to approve the EME specification. At this point W3C will have to decide whether the issues raised against the specification have been sufficiently addressed. Since I expect there is likely to be a Formal Objection to any approval by the Working Group then it will be the director who decides on this (IIUC).
