The director (unfortunately) has decided that work on EME is in scope of the HTML WG and also made clear that this is not considered to be a decision regarding the later acceptance of EME as a W3C standard. There are people (like myself) who are convinced that EME can not be improved in a way which makes it compatible with the Open Web and therefore think that work on EME is both a waste of time (like a research project attempting to build a perpetuum mobile) and helping DRM proponents. But it does not help the cause of DRM opponents at all to misrepresent the current position of W3C management. Cheers, Andreas
