matatk: [recaps interaction side discussion: media query to express which side users prefer content to appear]

Fazio: cognitively this is a good idea

janina: would like the preference to choose where this content appears

Fredrik: interesting cultural issue regarding reading right to left

matatk: Reading the first comment in the thread to determine if it satisfies this concern would be welcome

Task Force & Deliverables Updates

RQTF

janina: Expect a receive a request to advance CTAUR next week. We had a wide public review quite some time ago. We've had several drafts on CTAUR (collaborative tools). Trying to extrapolate what accessibility requirements are in collaborative environments. Had a lot of comments from COGA.

<Fredrik> Not to put too fine a point on it, but Zoom would technically also fall under CTAUR.

<matatk> Collaboration Tools Accessibility User Requirements (CTAUR): https://www.w3.org/TR/ctaur/

janina: What we haven't had is enough review from a wider audience. If things go as planned, APA will publish a wide-review draft of CTAUR.

<janina> https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/AI,_Machine_Learning_and_Accessibility

janina: We decided to do an Accessibility User Requirements for AI. We'll be looking for comments and participants.

<Fazio> Absolutely

<Fredrik> Could we pleasepleaseplease find a way to call it AINUR? #TolkienFandom

<Fazio> relates to maturity model

janina: Main problem is to scope this work appropriately. We need to ensure proper scoping.

<Dr_Keith> are we looking at AI experience, delivery of content, or user interfaces

Fazio: Might be a tricky one. Will be complex given all the circumstances around LLMs and functional considerations etc.

janina: A need is one thing. Getting work done in that AI accessibility area is a different thing.

mike_beganyi: Interested in getting involved in this - is there a link I can follow?

<Fredrik> Apart form Jutta Treveranus, I would also give a heads-up about Klaus Miesenberger and the Linz Uni's work on AI.

janina: The link is in the doc; RQTF call is the hour before APA.
