Meeting minutes

APA Working Group Charter development and the RQTF contribution.

JW: We had an understanding from last time that APA are looking at us for some balance between deliverables and what we would work on again, strong commitment that may limit topics

<janina> https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/charter-2021/charter.html

We discussed that the MAUR is up for review, and potential AI topics

that could be examples in a charter

JS: Thats fair

We should all read that.

Its good for the charter to be more general

SH: If we did revisit MAUR what is the process for bringing other in?

JS: All those people are still welcome.

Process is open - we could add a CG

Thats how Silver is working

JS: Also versioning up still gives credit to those on previous versions

JW: That is important.

<Groups wonders what Sylia Pfeiffer is up to>

JW: Any else?

JS: I'm comfortable with what we've got/

JW: We also discussed if we were to list RAUR and XAUR etc?

JS: Not sure if that was settled - no harm in listing them.

JS: We didn't discuss if RQTF needs to defend our publication, purpose etc

JOC: Why?

JS: To explain the background etc - we can do that.

We have something like that from Roy on Personalization.

JW: We are reaching agreement, comments?

JS: Are we saying we want to revisit the MAUR?

JW: No-one is speaking against that

SH: Its a great idea

RAUR and XAUR – review, issues, and progress toward publication.

JW: To summarize Josh is working on the issues we have addressed in recent meetings.

The XAUR, we are waiting review comments.

JS: Yes, I'm delayed in contacting Immersive Web

JS: We should re-read it.

We got good feedback at the 11th hour with RAUR.

JW: Lets add XAUR discussion for the next two weeks hence

Next week we have the WoT/APA call

JOC: We still have some RAUR issues to walk through

We still have 122, 123, 124

<jasonjgw> Josh: notes additional RAUR issues for discussion.

https://github.com/w3c/apa/issues/122

etc

[ITU-T] 2.2 Routing and communication channel control #122

https://github.com/w3c/apa/issues/122

The RQTF team seems to feel this requirement is already in RAUR https://www.w3.org/TR/raur/#routing-and-communication-channel-control

[ITU-T] 2.6 Emergency calls: Support for Real-time text (RTT) #123

https://github.com/w3c/apa/issues/123

<SteveNoble> Josh: the and/or has captured the distinction - we asked for riche media but we have fall-back mechanisms

[ITU-T] 2.10 Live transcription and captioning support #124

https://github.com/w3c/apa/issues/124

<SteveNoble> Commentator asks, "Isn’t live transcription and captioning same thing?"

The symbol needs to captioning specific

https://github.com/w3c/apa/issues/124

We could solve this with REQ 12a: Honor user preferences relating to live transcription and captioning as well as provide support for signing or related symbol sets.

<SteveNoble> Judy: captioning can sometimes relate to recorded or live media, while live events will have live transcriptions

<SteveNoble> Janina: we are talking here about real-time, so the distinction seems moot

<SteveNoble> Josh: not a huge gain in making these distinction

• REQ 12a: Honor user preferences relating to live transcription, captioning and provide support for signing or an AAC related symbol set.

<SteveNoble> Janina: Could include something like "e.g., AAC"

• REQ 12a: Honor user preferences relating to live transcription, captioning and provide support for signing or related symbol set e.g. an AAC.

• REQ 12a: Honor user preferences relating to live transcription, captioning and provide support for signing or type of symbol set e.g. AAC.

<SteveNoble> Janina: useful to refer our suggested change to commenter

New User Needs documents

<jasonjgw> Josh: potential options have been raised for further user needs-related documents that could be developed.

<jasonjgw> MiniApp accessibility could lead to a document.

<jasonjgw> Voice interaction is another possibility.

<jasonjgw> Cosnideration has been given to supporting the work of Silver/WCAG 3 regarding speech interfaces.

<jasonjgw> MAUR is also on the lst.

<jasonjgw> Janina: MiniApps, voice agents, and MAUR.

SH: There is also remote meeting

JW: Thats on the agenda

JB: Just to comment on this

Regarding Mini Apps there is work on this via Roy

It could be helpful to work with him.

The question is how much of a deep dive would have to be done.

On Voice Agents area - there is a workshop in progress, a little on the backburner now.

Roy will have some input also into that.

The question is about efficiency.

We need to support out the level of involvement.

JS: Josh is talking about a user needs doc.

JB: This may not be the time to do that.

JS: Regarding MAUR - it exists because we had a need for supporting media in HTML 5.

There were many areas that needed to be specified.

JB: We are in a different situation now.

JS: How can we do that without articulating user needs and requirements?

JB: DOnt know.

JS: This is an old argument - to get involvement and capture use cases, before turning to specification writing.

JW: Natural language dialog systems are what we call them

JB: The Mini Apps and Smart Agent work is being led out of China.

JS: So are we going to get Josh working on one? Or is two a possibility?

JB: We have some resource here.

We could spread out the work a bit.

JOC: Lets come back to this

JW: Should Mini Apps remain on the agenda?

JS: Yes

JW: We can discuss in two weeks.

JW: Thanks everyone.
