<Zakim> janina, you wanted to note APA availed joint mtgs, but not APA only business

Reminder to your groups of upcoming daylight saving time changes

jb: Daylight Time starts Sunday in most of North America

jb: Asks whether any issues?

<Judy> ... and then two weeks later in Europe...

WAI team doing some reflection on direction and priorities, input on technical and outreach issues?

jb: Expecting more in depth WAI Team priorities/direction discussion over coming weeks

jb: Wanting to give others an opportunity to raise issues for staff to reflect on ...

jb: This is looking forward over the next few years ...

<Rachael> +1 to a joint glossary. We see that in silver and coga too

bg: Recalls desire for WAI-wide glossary. We have need in various docs.

bg: Would be helpful to build into our docs by reference

rm: Looking for increasing emphasis on COGA, but also mental health. Not sure how it fits, but something to consider

js: Notes need for registry in some TF specs

jeanne: Need to make our tools more accessible, needs to remain a priority

jb: Notes regression in Doodle polling

jb: Asks for any tooling suggestions? Is this a good ongoing topic?

<Kim_patch> + Tools more accessible these to remain a priority

jeanne: Suggests license for Google, so we could have protected data in Googld Docs use

<Judy> JB: isn't that also partly inaccessible?

<Judy> JSp: depends on disability

jeanne: Notes have not found one tool that fits all; even within disability category

jn: Aren't there also geographic restrictions in Google Docs

sl: Yes

kd: Switching around is tough for speech input

<jeanne> last I heard, there were. But if we let people with disabilities use the tools that they need to work in, and find the ways to make it work within W3C.

kd: Suggests starting with GD; and enabling transformation to other representations

<brent> Same as what Kim just said

kd: Speaks up for tools people are accustomed to using

Brent: New tools are always a learning process; Now we fractured because of so many tools in soo many orgs

jb: Don't expect a solution from brief discussion; but good to discuss

Brent: Maybe not solution, but perhaps more mangeable

<Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to affirm to continue to emphasize tooling

<Zakim> brent, you wanted to say familiarity

jb: Wonders whether there are priority issues that need broader discussion?

<Judy> s/where there are/which are the/

jeanne: Just what I'm working on; porting email comments into github issues

jeanne: have several hundred comments from all around the world

jeanne: have feedback through regular channels but also through intros to the FPWD that we're doing

jeanne: a bit overwhelming

jeanne: Encouraging is various regulatory comments; Mostly positive

jeanne: Hopeful response from U.S. Trusted Testor and Access Board

jb: Requests heads up when working with AB

jeanne: Yes, invited back in June

<Rachael> Next Wednesday I can join at 12:30 EST

<brent> Any way to get the invite to join the meeting without "joining" the community group?

jn: Like to join just for general interest; probably not much relevant to ARIA

<Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to ask for help with WCAG3 Captions from Immersive Captions

<brent> I am out all next week on vacation, but happy to join at a later time.
