summary	The W3C has two caption formats: WebVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) and TTML (Timed Text Markup Language). WebVTT, currently under development in the Text Track Community Group (TT-CG), is moving through a Working Group process to become a W3C Recommendation. The need for WebVTT to become a recommendation arises from its growing use and the need for standardization. WebVTT will be part of the Timed Text Working Group's deliverables, which are being developed by the Text Track Community Group. The goal is to have both formats work together seamlessly. Assuming the TT-WG's charter includes WebVTT as a milestone, the next step would be to bring the FSA (Formatted Segmented Async) specification into the TT-WG as an FPWD (First Public Working Draft). After that, there will be a Last Call, which freezes the feature set. This is possible due to the wide community review of the WebVTT spec. Meanwhile, the CG can continue developing the next version of WebVTT with new features, similar to how the HTML5 and HTML5.1 specifications are being developed.
