Agenda Review & Announcements

janina: standard agendum plus new item. no specific announcements on the agenda

Open CfC Elevating Maturity Model to Task Force httpS://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/maturity-model/work-statementtatus

<Roy> https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/maturity-model/work-statement

<Fazio> I'm here to answer questions

janina: reminder that the CFC, proposes subgroup of maturity model and making them their own TF. a lot of votes have come in but please get votes in. CFC closes at midnight Boston time Friday

Fazio: do we want to bring up questions about equity

janina: discussed last week. thought equity questions were about the maturity model itslef and not the work statement

Fazio: that's correct, Janina

janina: if there are ways to scope in something we aren't currently in a11y, or scope in technology that we're not seeing as being web driven, then yes we should revisit the scope

APA Rechartering: Ready for CfC? https://github.com/w3c/apa/blob/charter-2023/charter.html

janina: Question for the group: are we ready to go for a call for consensus (CfC) on our APA charter?
… Now is the time to scope in anything that you feel is relevant. This charter will govern our work until some time in 2025 (it's a 2-year charter).

<Fredrik> FYI: I can't get in through the Zoom link. No idea what is going on. It looks as though I'm alone in the meeting. And yes, I'm using "our" link from the APA meeting page...

janina: E.g. if we want to make overlay tech in scope, now is the time to ask for it. Same applies for all of our deliverables.

janina: Questions/comments?

<Roy> +1

+1

matatk: Propses a sentence at the start of the external orgs section to explain it's as-and-when, and we have worked with those in the past. Assume it's editorial though.

janina: *confirms it's editorial*

<Fazio> +1

janina: We met with Web Payment Security Interest Group a couple of weeks back; was a productive meeting; intent to continue working with them.

matatk: We should add Blissymbolics Communication International (as we are working with them).

janina: Yes.

+1 (to CfC on charter)

janina: I asked Roy to look for refs to "Personalization" and update to "WAI-Adapt"

Roy: Due to IP/process issues, we do need to retain some references to "Personalization Semantics Content Module" as it's a current draft.

<Fredrik> ]q on CFC on teh Chartert, /1 on Zoom connection (from my side at least; can anyone see me in the meeting?).

janina: Let's agree to update that draft before this gets to the AC, to avoid confusion.

<Fredrik> Thanks Mat - working on it...

A11y Review Comment Tracker https://w3c.github.io/horizontal-issue-tracker/?repo=w3c/a11y-review

janina: How do we recognize that some of these items have timeouts and some don't? Seems they are two separate interfaces, so we should have two separate items for now at least.

janina: Reminder: Tracker is going away soon. We will move to GitHub.
… If you need help, please ask me or Matthew.
… We are talking about making GitHub tracking easier in our planning calls, and think we can resolve most of the issues that we anticipate.
… If you have any concerns, please let us know as soon as you can.

<Fredrik> janina: Will there be any particulars for W3C/WAI on GitHub or will that be more or less standard issue githubbing going on?

janina: Fredrik: we think it'll be fairly standard.
… We _may_ be able to tweak things/tooling for some people; we are working on it, but nothing concrete yet.

Task Force & Deliverables Updates

<Fredrik> janina: Exciting, looking forward to further developments!

… The AC CG will be working on contributing ot our Explainer document to highlight some curb cuts we can do in areas other than symbols.

Fazio: I am looking into the research I mentioned a while back on AAC devices and voices (and effects on learning); have contact details. The work was done in the Bay area.
