TAG discussion on the TV Control WG charter

Hi all,

The TV Control WG Charter was discussed by TAG at their recent F2F meeting [1]. The minutes from the meeting are at [2] and [3].

In summary, the TAG is wondering whether specific APIs such as ours, and others coming from other groups such as the Automotive WG, could perhaps be best exposed as network resources rather than JavaScript APIs, however they do not currently have specific guidance on which approach to take.

There was initially some confusion about the scope of the TV Control API, which Yosuke helped clarify during the meeting. This is understandable as the name could be read to imply a protocol for controlling a TV device on the network, which isn't really the aim of our WG.

Nonetheless, the question of whether a network resource based approach would work hasn't been discussed in the CG so far, and we'll need to have a view on this when we start discussion with the TAG.

Please share your comments on the mailing list.

Thanks,

Chris (WG Chair)
