The HME WG has recently received several Formal Objections to EME progressing to Proposed Recommendation. These recent formal objections are listed below: a) ISSUE-288: "EME is not intended to be an interface to technical protection measures" https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media/issues/288 Author: Wendy Seltzer b) ISSUE-304: Turn off EME by default and activate only with express permission from user https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media/issues/304 Author: Harry Halpin c) ISSUE-305: Formal objection to Encrypted Media Extensions advancing to Proposed Recommendation https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media/issues/305 Author: Ruben Rodriguez Since these formal objections: a) cannot be satisfied without making "substantive changes" [1] to the EME specification or halting work on the specification entirely, and/or b) are identical to previous formal objections that the Director has chosen not to sustain, and/or c) there is no consensus within the HME WG for the required changes especially this late in the EME specification development, in my role as HME WG Chair I am ruling that these issues should be closed with no action for EME V1. Each of these Formal Objections will be added to the summary page of formal objections [1] and will be presented to the Director when he reviews a request to progress EME to Proposed Recommendation status.
