Open questions
- How can these projects contribute to future, more testable, accessibility requirements?
- How can these projects inform present and future working group deliverables
- How can these two groups improve their work processes based on the outcomes provided by these projects?
- How can we work together to avoid potential duplication of efforts and overlapping
