Agenda Review & Announcements

janina: we have an agenda for today
… we have an urgent issue from publishing group
… any announcement to share?
… Matthew will not partecipate to the call, he's busy

TPAC 2023 Followup - https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Meetings/TPAC_2023

janina: the outcomes were great
… to much to talk about in only one session
… the URI of the agenda is the same we used at TPAC, so you can check that page
… TPAC was great, all meetings were very productive
… some groups were not sure about creating a repository for symbols for WAI-Adaptive

Epub Note Special Request https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub33/a11y-exemption/

janina: instead of using unicode

janina: we had a request for Publishing Maintenance Group
… there is a law in EU that provides an exception for publishers for producing accessible publications
… we can't modify a lot, since it is the law

Matt: yes, there are three exceptions (micro-enterprise, disporpotionated burden, fundamental alteration)
… these metadata are already available in ONIX standard, we would link to sync EPUB metadata with the supply chain standard
… this metadata we'll be used for displaying metadata to endusers and to have statistics

gpellegrino: yes, it was requests by the Federation of European Publishers to have data after the European Accessibility Act will take in place
… so they can have numbers of publications that are not accessible, to maybe ask for public funding to fix those

janina: is there any question?
… is there any objection to approve the publication to the document?

RESOLUTION: APA approves and supports the Epub Note on accessibility metadata and does not object to the Note's publication.

<Roy> Tencent
