summary	The WebVTT caption format, though initially considered as a rival to TTML, will now likely become part of W3C Recommendation through a Working Group process. The need for this change is driven by the fact that web developers prefer WebVTT due to its simpler syntax and ability to be embedded directly within HTML. In order for WebVTT to become a W3C recommendation, it must go through the Text Track Community Group (TT-CG) first before moving on to the Timed Text Working Group (TT-WG). In this process, the FSA specification will be brought into the TT-WG as First Public Working Draft (FPWD), after which a Last Call will be initiated to finalize its feature set. Wide community review of the WebVTT spec has been done already, so this step is feasible. Concurrently, the TT-CG can continue developing new versions of WebVTT specification with additional features similar to HTML5 and HTML5.1 specifications. The collaboration between the TT-CG and the TT-WG will ensure that these updates are integrated into the W3C recommendation process.
