Do you have a source for that? The latest article that references the W3C on their site already shows them as a member, and it appears that they were heavily involved in Do Not Track work before EME. Did they post something somewhere when they were joining?

edit: The reply below has the link. Thank you!

Excellent, thank you!

Do Not Track was a document produced by an IETF WG, and totally unrelated to the W3C.

Source please?
