janina: W3C now has its own Zoom set-up. Matthew, Roy, and I were able to play with it last week, and it has some really cool accessibility features.
janina: Interlinear translations are now possible, e.g. you can show what someone's saying in both Chinese and English.
janina: We'll find out soon if we can pin the ASL interpreter (i.e. if they are meeting the RAUR).

janina: We will have new meeting details for the group and TF meetings.

Issue 240, w3c/adapt#240
russell: There is a problem with using the Unicode code points for IDs, in that we are tying the ID to the graphical representation. That's not the way it works with the BCI IDs, and I don't think it's the way it should work,
… because the graphical reprsesentation can change. This has happened, becuase things do change. Almost every [Bliss] release, there are modifications to a small number of the symbols.
Lionel_Wolberger: This brings to mind primary key; the Unicode CPs don't sound like appropriate primary keys.
janina: Thanks russell for your perspective on this. The W3C view would, and should, be that the primary key is tied to the concept, not the representation.
janina: Remembering from college, a lesson that signs and symbosl are not the same thing.
s/not the representation
russell: Something that can happen with the BCI ID system is that it is possible to get two IDs that refer to essentially the same concept, but they are natural cases that can happen with language, as representations (like spellings) change.
janina: This is great stuff russell, and the right approach to thinking on it to've taken.
janina: We'd like to leave the follow-up with you; you're welcome to draft a reply and we can respond on the Adapt list.
Lionel_Wolberger: I'll take the action to draft our response.
