Sorry for not catching up on this thread until it's too late, but anyway: I'm inclined to think that it's not worth putting up a massive fight over the group's organization here, which I think is what it would take to change this plan. I think I'd rather focus the bandwidth of our communication with W3C management on other issues. I think if the group goes off into the weeds, it's worth putting up a fight over that, primarily in the group itself. (On the other hand, I think it is worth listening to the real needs of producers who have large libraries of captions that they'd like to convert to WebVTT.) I suppose I should at least send late feedback over the decision process, and perhaps also that there should be more mention of the working group operating as two subgroups than "Teleconferences: Weekly for TTML, and as needed for WebVTT". -David > On Mon, Mar 17, 2014 at 9:42 AM, Anne van Kesteren <ann...@annevk.nl> wrote: > > > On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 7:56 AM, L.
