Dangling Spec Review Cleanup: https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Category:Spec_Review_Assigned

<MichaelC> https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Web_of_Things_(WoT)_Profile

<janina> MichaelC: Looks at WoT ...

<janina> MichaelC: to consider in context of other specs

<janina> Joshue108: WoT Chair did ack

<MichaelC> Previous discussion on WoT Profile: https://www.w3.org/2020/12/02-apa-minutes#item06

<MichaelC> https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Mitigating_Browser_Fingerprinting_in_Web_Specifications

<MichaelC> https://www.w3.org/2019/04/17-apa-minutes.html#item06

<janina> becky: Notes having difficulty writing up our comment -- help!

<janina> becky: notes js suggested using lionel's response, but thought it was a bit overwhelming for what we want

<janina> beck: we need a simpler statement; kybd operable, etc

<becky> It is imperative that the interface for picture in picture meets the

<becky> requirements of WCAG 2.1. All users must be able to find and navigate

<becky> to/from the picture in picture, and enable/disable/operate all controls

<becky> using various input modalities, color and contrast settings, and assistive

<becky> technologies.

<janina> MichaelC: suggests "imperative" too strong

<janina> MichaelC: suggest we can provide an example, but might be more complex than the wg would want

<becky> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2021Jul/0015.html

<janina> becky: they wanted an example

<Zakim> MichaelC, you wanted to say imperative, and also example

<janina> MichaelC: so, let's not worry about example

<janina> becky: will build a CfC

Actions Checkin (Specs) https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/track/actions/open

Other Business

<becky> Janina: suggestions that accessibility api models need updating; should APA organize people to start thinking about AAPI++

<becky> Janina: some of this is being discussed by Shadi and others within scope of EU funding

<becky> Janina: some pushback from vendors regarding pronunciation and parsing SSML just to get pronunciation

<becky> Janina: current AAPI doesn't support streaming content well

<becky> Janina: believe we should be forward thinking about architecture going forward

<janina> jf: one problem is at vendors may have needs and ideas, but they're not in w3c feedback for the most part

<becky> Janina: suggesting TPAC would be a good forum for gathering interested experts - APA could host a meeting; this could help define what the architecture needs to encompass

<becky> paul_grenier: pronunciation feedback from AT is that it needs to be easy; but browser feedback is different - we may want to defer to the browser if we want this in the accessibility tree.

<becky> janina: sounds like a worthy topic for the 2nd week - an APA meeting to discuss this topic
