Re: Audio WG telecons and first draft

Thanks Alistair.

I wasn't aware that we'd be meeting without Google/Mozilla -- if this was communicated and I missed it, my apologies. I agree that their presence is essential. However it seems best to me to have the next call already scheduled and on deck, to maintain momentum.

Filling out the poll shortly!

Right now it is difficult to point to this group's progress as a sign that HTML5 audio is taking a clear shape, when the meetings occur so rarely and there is no clear roadmap to resolving the different proposals.
