I'd like to be 100% clear on this.

Are you saying that, as a result of discussion and consultation, the W3C
might decide that 'content protection' is actually out of scope for the
W3C?  Not just reject the EME proposal, but reject 'content protection'
altogether?

Because everything I've heard so far suggests otherwise - that at best
EME might be rejected, but that an alternative method of 'content
protection' will be adopted.
