I have already reached out to Travis and he reached to Alex.  Travis and Alex have agreed to attend the Media TF call on Tue Sep 22 at 8am PDT so that they can get further information from the entire Task Force.

I will include Travis and Alex on the agenda email and ensure they have the teleconference information.

Hi Paul,

I was just informed that you attended the TAG meeting today to discuss the EME “secure release” topic.

That is not completely accurate. I did attend part of the TAG meeting, and secure release was discussed. However, the latter was a surprise to me and not the reason I attended. I am providing details below to clear up any misunderstandings.

I had previously offered to be available to answer questions about EME, which was to be on the TAG’s agenda for Cory Doctorow’s presentation. However, it appears there was some miscommunication because when the TAG dialed me in, Cory had already presented and the TAG seemed to be expecting an update on the status of EME.

That discussion led to a question about what is blocking LC. Among other things, I mentioned that we had spent a lot of time on secure release, which is something we would like to get input on. When I was asked to introduce secure release, I did my best to do so on the fly and answer subsequent questions.

To be clear, I had not previously planned to discuss this issue Monday or to start a discussion at this point; my plan for EME issue 85<https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media/issues/85> was always to introduce the issue on www-tag, which I have not done yet.

As noted in the issue you linked, the TAG decided to provide feedback regarding architecture impact, especially in comparison to <a ping> and sendBeacon(). The exact next steps were unclear (intermittent audio issues didn’t help). I plan to follow-up after the f2f, which is currently occupying the TAG members. I’ll be sure to update the related EME issue 85 when I have more clarity.

Can you please provide the Media TF with a report on this discussion?
