This resolution passes, with objections.  Notably:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Feb/0013.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Feb/0016.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Feb/0023.html

Specifically:

1) There remains unresolved Formal Objection which will be dealt with by 
the W3C Director at a future transition point for EME.  In particular, 
the content of message #0023 can be brought up at the point where the 
Formal Objection is taken up.

2) The publication of this heatbeat in no way inhibits progress on IEME 
or other specifications.

3) W3C management has repeatedly ruled that EME is in scope for the HTML 
WG.  Furthermore, the CEO of the W3C has stated that Tim will consider 
EME as to whether it is a valid open solution to content protection at a 
later stage.

4) In response to #0018, the "27 countries and territories in the 
Pacific" are welcome to participate in the HTML WG either through member 
organizations or invited experts.
