Agenda Review & Announcements

Michael: announcements from AC meeting: work done on memorandum of understanding with the WHAT working group. To be made public after the meeting (hasn’t been yet). Will cover potential joint work/deliverables.
... Evergreen recommendation was also discussed; happening through process community group. Seems likely to be accepted. APA should look closely at it.
... whether a spec is evergreen would be at charter time.

Janina: Wondering about implications of evergreen for Sliver.

Michael: Accessibility came up a lot at the meeting. Horizontal review seen as important, along with security and privacy.
... There is an influx of accessibility-focused member organisations.

Josh: Good to hear about the focus on accessibility.

Janina: wondering if ARIA may go evergreen.

Joanie: [not in official capacity] Potential the accessibility API mappings are a candidate for becoming evergreen.

Michael: Registries may be natural candidates for becoming evergreen; perhaps it is less clear with accessibility API mappings.

Joanie: release cycles for WGs are relevant to the matter of going evergreen, or not, too.

TPAC 2019

Janina: APA session will be requested soon.

CAPTCHA Note Update

https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/editorial2-captcha/captcha/index.html

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: above URL is the latest draft. Latest tweaks include wording to indicate that validating whether someone is a human or robot is different to logging in.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: Some concerns are around if the use of CAPTCHAs is going to grow.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: Issue 25: reCAPTCHA appears to have stopped offering audio CAPTCHAs as existing automated tools can be used to answer them.

new on TR http://www.w3.org/TR/tr-status-drafts.html

<Matthew_Atkinson> Michael: CSS Transforms Module Level 1 - APA to complete its review.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Michael: User Timing Level 3 - looked at it a month ago; were unsure if there were fingerprinting issues. Suggest making it an agenda item.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: will add agenda item

<Matthew_Atkinson> Michael: WebVTT - has been republished as CR to identify certain features are at risk. The question for APA is: do those at-risk features impact accessibility?

<Matthew_Atkinson> Michael: There are three at-risk features (detailed in the message linked above)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: will ask John Foliot

Other Business

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: We should schedule a conversation soon about the idea of revisiting verticals. How is APA going to get ready in advance for work that might happen in W3C. The idea of a wishlist is raised.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: examples may include new charters, existing verticals and emerging projects. Suggest Josh be involved.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Josh: Agree; suggest polling the group about the verticals and use-cases such as WebRTT.
