Meeting minutes

Priorities for future Task force deliverables (especially publications).

<Zakim> joconnor, you wanted to mention update on possibilities for user requirements documents

jasonjgw: A number of potential areas have been discussed with possible deliverables

joconnor: A few areas: miniapps; voice agents (how to apply WCAG)

<joconnor> These areas could be good for user requirements etc like XAUR and RAUR

jasonjgw: Neural networks?

janina: Not enough direct accessibility impact at this point to pursue

janina: we could discuss effective ways to apply them, but it is not something that WCAG has been looking at

janina: Browsers already have the capability to use

janina: Currently we don't have a lot of expertise in our group, which is a limiting factor

joconnor: User agents and needs in voice interfaces would be part of a gap analysis; better to start here

<joconnor> I think the Voice Agents space is a WCAG 3.0 thing

janina: Voice agents sounds like something that is ripe for us to pursue

janina: Comparing the different platforms could be interesting

janina: Miniapps is also a good area to look at

Judy: keep in mind that Roy is out for a while

joconnor: Miniapps is a space worth looking at, but we need Roy as part of that work

jasonjgw: Possible connection of miniapps to augmented reality? Not sure...

<joconnor> JS: Maybe interesting metadata challenge

jasonjgw: These two issues seem to be viable for exploration (voice agents and miniapps)

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

jasonjgw: New branch is out

<joconnor> http://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/2021-jan-raur/raur/index.html

jasonjgw: reactions?

jasonjgw: Recollection is we were going to do a call for wide review and gather comments, before going to notes status

jasonjgw: This is the RAUR

janina: call for second wide review is next step

joconnor: Timeline?

jasonjgw: We need to do another read ourselves for editorial presentation, maybe a week or two

jasonjgw: We don't need a CFC for a working draft

jasonjgw: Both substantive and editorial review will be helpful

jasonjgw: A sentence here or there or a link to related documents may be useful

XAUR

<joconnor> https://www.w3.org/TR/xaur/

janina: Need comments from immersive web

janina: Review the XAUR ourselves at this point?

Janina - we cannot hear you

W3C Workshop on Wide Color Gamut and High Dynamic Range for the Web.

jasonjgw: Unsure of timing for workshop

Miscellaneous updates and topics relevant to Task Force work.

<Judy_> https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/Accessibility_of_Remote_Meetings

Judy_: one comment was that some of this content should be integrated into making presentations accessible (e.g., making a presentation during a meeting), also integrating some into "making audio and video media accessible", but neither is a good match, would take re-working, and scattered matching between sections

Judy_: the way we are phrasing things was seen as an issue; what other issues this maps into

Judy_: Hybrid settings (some in person, some remote) is another angle we need to consider

Judy_: What are the latest needs to help with updating this doc?

Scott: two aspects to the Wiki...how to set up remote environments for accessibility; the other side is the lack of accessible platforms, how to build new tools

Scott: video conference accessibily tip sheet might be good

jasonjgw: Color workshop deadline comes around before the next time we meet

janina: We should put in a placeholder presentation and edit later
