Janina (and the group): Welcome David and Fredrik!
17:17:40 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Janina: we now have a transcription feature via Zoom (not planning to archive, but should be enabled soon).
17:18:30 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Michael: The transcript isn't a substitute for human captioning, but should be useful. (Checks for objections before turning it on.)
17:19:53 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Michael: The feature is enabled and shows up in Zoom's UI. It is possible for attendees to save the transcript themselves (it is not auto-saved). There is speaker identification, but it's not saved with the transcript.
17:21:18 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Niel [I think -scribe]: Will this replace scribes?
17:21:59 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Michael: This is not expected; scribing can be terser and easier to access institutional memory as a result.

17:23:18 [JF]
Q+
17:23:59 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Janina: COGA would like to remain part of APA. David is here to liaise with us. We need cognitive expertise when reviewing specs.
17:24:35 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Janina: we don't name TFs in our charter but do name some deliverables and have added a bullet point for COGA's deliverable(s).

Becky: the point added was "Information about accessibility needs of specific user groups, such as Making content usable for people with cognitive and learning disabilities;"
17:26:02 [Matthew_Atkinson]
JF: If COGA is a joint TF, what about others?
17:27:04 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Janina: Discussions ongoing, but for COGA, both AGWG and APA have different needs of the COGA group and they're happy to help. E.g. COGA may provide feedback on a spec before we run a CfC.
17:29:23 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Janina: If there are other similar groups, please raise them. The next step for the charter is CfC: are there any objections to adding this bullet point?

David: Is this how the COGA deliverables information was listed last time? [URL above]
17:31:26 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Michael: We simplified the charter/deliverables section considerably this time. We didn't have a hook for COGA so added this line.
17:31:50 [Matthew_Atkinson]
David: *Concern as to whether this may fundamentally alters the relationship; will discuss with COGA.*
17:32:08 [Matthew_Atkinson]
ack Fazio__
17:33:00 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Janina: Our approach this time was to be inclusive by example, rather than exhaustive of every possible deliverable. CfC will begin later.

agendum 4 -- FAST Progress -- taken up [from janina]
17:41:06 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Josh: Currently aggregating user needs; working on a robust set of these on which we can build requirements. Work ongoing on the database. Progressing well.
17:42:43 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Michael: The user needs are in a work-in-progress branch in GitHub.
17:44:05 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Janina: FAST features here in APA and in Silver (informing guidelines). Here it's helping us develop guidance for other WGs look on their own at what it takes to do accessibility and giving us some help in understanding their specs.

17:44:52 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Michael: Spatial Data on the Web
17:46:10 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Michael: We've reviewed at least one of their specs. They have a liaison statement to WAI (should be us). Need to decide whether what they're doing is relevant.
17:46:14 [JF]
Perhaps here: Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices
17:46:29 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Janina: perhaps annotations e.g. to help find accessibility info about places?

from their 2017 note (https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/NOTE-sdw-bp-20170928/) "The key problems we are trying to solve in this document are discoverability, accessibility and interoperability."
17:47:54 [Matthew_Atkinson]
Becky: There seems to be a lot of overlap with other groups we're interested in.
17:48:03 [Matthew_Atkinson]
