Re: Call for Consensus to publish WebVTT as a Candidate Recommendation

Hi all,

David jumped the gun with his email a little - Thierry and I first
needed to land that pull request.

You can find the proper link at
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/blob/gh-pages/archives/2018-04-15/Overview.html
.

Kind Regards,
Silvia.

This email is a call for consensus to make the transition based on this version of the document; barring any objections within the WG's Decision Policy period of 10 working days as defined in the Charter, I will ask for this transition request to be made.
