Call for Review: Web Audio API is a W3C Proposed Recommendation

   6 May 2021
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9047>

   The Web Audio Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of "Web Audio API." This specification describes a high-level Web API for processing and synthesizing audio in web applications. The primary paradigm is of an audio routing graph, where a number of "AudioNode" objects are connected together to define the overall audio rendering. The actual processing will primarily take place in the underlying implementation (typically optimized Assembly / C / C++ code), but "direct script processing and synthesis" is also supported.

W3C opens Advisory Board (AB) election

   4 May 2021
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9041>

   The W3C Advisory Committee has nominated seven individuals, and is invited today to vote until 2 June 2021 for six seats in the W3C Advisory Board (AB) election. Please, read the statements of the nominees.

   <https://www.w3.org/2002/ab/>
   <https://www.w3.org/2021/05/04-ab-nominations>

   Created in March 1998, the Advisory Board provides ongoing guidance to the W3C Team on issues of strategy, management, legal matters, process, and conflict resolution. The Advisory Board also serves the W3C Members by tracking issues raised between Advisory Committee meetings, soliciting Member comments on such issues, and proposing actions to resolve these issues. The Advisory Board manages the evolution of the Process Document. The Advisory Board hears appeals of Member Submission requests that are rejected for reasons unrelated to Web architecture. For several years, the AB has conducted its work in a public wiki.

   <https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB>

   The elected Members of the Advisory Board participate as individual contributors and not representatives of their organizations. Advisory Board participants use their best judgment to find the best solutions for the Web, not just for any particular network, technology, vendor, or user.
