RE: Call for Consensus: attempt to move Media Playback Quality to HTML WHATWG

Hi Mounir,

Apologies, this isn't a straight yes or no answer.

On previous WG calls there was a decision to write guidance for when things should be moved. I think I'd prefer to see such guidance written and agreed before applying it.

In the case of Media Playback Quality, I can see arguments on both sides. The WG discussed that as this is a small spec and closely related to the media element behaviour, it could be integrated into HTML.

On the other hand, we'd prefer to see whether having a standalone spec that's called out from HTML is a viable approach before committing to fold this into HTML.

Many thanks,

Chris

Subject: Call for Consensus: attempt to move Media Playback Quality to HTML WHATWG

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to merge the Media Playback Quality<https://w3c.github.io/media-playback-quality/> specification to the HTML<https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/> specification as part of the WHATWG.

As a reminder, this was discussed during our June call [issue]<https://github.com/w3c/media-wg/issues/17> and the general feedback in the call was in support of merging the specification given the very small API surface added in the document. The alternative to merging this specification into the HTML specification is to publish the work as a FPWD.

The CfC will last for two weeks, and will end on Monday the 21st of September at 18:00 UTC. Please reply to this email and state one of the following:
 * I support merging the Media Playback Quality specification into the HTML specification.
 * I object to merging the Media Playback Quality specification into the HTML specification and would support a FPWD as part of the Media WG.

It's worth noting that even if the group consensus comes in support of merging the work, we will need to run this through the W3C/WHATWG Steering Committee. The final decision is conditional to their approval.

Thanks,
-- Media WG Chairs
