The Associate program (tag.w3.org/associates/) was launched a little over a year ago with the goal of helping to extend the TAG's ability to review and influence work.

How do you measure when a component is โ€œreadyโ€? โฑ๏ธ

LCP is too global; Element Timing is too specific.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Iโ€™ve been working with Bloomberg on a new #webperf API: Container Timing. Think of it as โ€œLCP for a web componentโ€, providing aggregated paint timing for a subtree.
