Fwd: Technical Review of EME (DRM in HTML5)

Hi all.

Manu Sporny has kindly agreed to introduce EME at the PING call on 28 February 2013 at UTC 17 so that we can discuss these issues.
If anyone from this extended distribution list would like to participate, we will send the call-in details out on the public-privacy email list.

Christine and Tara
PING co-chairs

I don't fully understand those details myself, and have asked for more discussion that might shed some light on a privacy review, which I think would be a suitable discussion for the Privacy Interest Group. It could be relevant to the Tracking Preference Expression spec to the extent that we have discussed making the Do Not Track signal accessible to plugins or extensions.
