Re: Call for Consensus to enable streamlined publishing for WebVTT and publish a new CRD

Thanks to all who responded to this Call for Consensus. The review period
has ended.



There were 2 responses in support, no responses against. Also, when this
was discussed at the prior TTWG call, the sentiment was positive.



I declare that we have consensus to enable streamlined publishing for
WebVTT and publish a new CRD.



DECISION: Enable streamlined publishing for WebVTT and publish a new CRD



There is no further review period for this WG Decision


Thanks all,
Gary, as Chair.
