Agenda Review & Announcements
Janina (and the group): Welcome David and Fredrik!
Janina: we now have a transcription feature via Zoom (not planning to archive, but should be enabled soon).
Michael: The transcript isn't a substitute for human captioning, but should be useful. (Checks for objections before turning it on.)
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.
Neil [I think -scribe]: Will this replace scribes?
Michael: This is not expected; scribing can be terser and easier to access institutional memory as a result.
Rechartering Update https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/charter-2021/charter.html
Janina: COGA would like to remain part of APA. David is here to liaise with us. We need cognitive expertise when reviewing specs.
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;"
JF: If COGA is a joint TF, what about others?
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.
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?
<janina> https://
David: Is this how the COGA deliverables information was listed last time? [URL above]
Michael: We simplified the charter/deliverables section considerably this time. We didn't have a hook for COGA so added this line.
David: *Concern as to whether this may fundamentally alters the relationship; will discuss with COGA.*
Janina: Our approach this time was to be inclusive by example, rather than exhaustive of every possible deliverable. CfC will begin later.
Task Force Updates
Janina: Plan for CfC on FPWD from Pronunciation by the end of the month.
Irfan: Working on errors/warnings from spec system with Michael.
Janina: RQTF expecting CfC on WebRTC User Requirements soon.
David: COGA currently going through the GitHub issues on Content Usable, looking at person-first/identity-first language.
FAST Progress
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.
Michael: The user needs are in a work-in-progress branch in GitHub.
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.

Michael: Spatial Data on the Web
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.
<JF> Perhaps here: Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices
Janina: perhaps annotations e.g. to help find accessibility info about places?
<paul_grenier> from their 2017 note (https://
Becky: There seems to be a lot of overlap with other groups we're interested in.
Janina: Seems relevant to the maps group.
Janina/Josh to ping the Maps on the Web group.
JF: We would be interested in their best practices document. Relevant to wayfinding.
<Fazio__> we did a joint COGA panel with geospatial
JF: There is a project going on about accessibility of public spaces/places.
Paul: Is there a need to connect to XAUR?
Michael: We can mention this in our coordination with XR.
Josh: +1
David: Geospatial team and maps had a joint conference with COGA—definitely relevant here and we should work together. Can provide reference info.

Janina: What stage is this?
