Meeting minutes
Symbols
Russell: There's an AI-based project that Jutta is involved with, have mentioned before.
… There's a fellow called Hannes Ljusås who has developed a system for displaying Bliss symbols, and generating Bliss symbols using SVG.
… I've talked to him about this project, he's interested.
… The code for the display system has been open-sourced.
… It's a great system. It's built in layers. It has almost bytecode to generate each line segment in a symbol. Above that is characters. They're based exactly on the Unicode set.
… Because the Unicode encoding is not finalized, he's used his own set of codes, but they map 1:1 with the (proposed) Unicode character set.
… I think it's going to be very useful for us.

janina: Since you've been involved in Jutta's AI project, do you know its legal status? Is it intended to become law or regulation?
Russell: it's exploratory so far
… It's about can we use AI as a communication assistant
janina: I was wondering about the intent on the legal/policy/governance side
Russell: I've not heard anything on that in the discussions so far.
janina: Please could you socialize in the Bliss meeting that <ruby> is gathering consensus and that we think we can indicate everything we need via lang=zbl
<matatk> s/UI as a/AI as a/
matatk: Looks impressive; will look at how to integrate it
janina: Could we get Hannes to join the group? If he loves to write code, we could use that...
destinations
Abhinav: The merge is done
janina: Parts of the explainer are destined, we think, for RQTF's AI and Accessibility document
… I plan to revisit this in February
Abhinav: Matthew is working towards a best practices document
matatk: I can share a branch end of this week
matatk: Tasks: updating the existing explainer for destinations
… What we want to do, end up with a non-normative specification note track, a 'statement'
… high level- if you want to do X, here is how to do it
… I am copying the best parts of the explainer into this document
janina: +1 to making it a statement
matatk: We will have to check back in with COGA, as they were critical to this agenda
janina: COGA is in our timeline, likely just after we finish curating the list of destinations
Proposed DDs: https://
matatk: COGA is likely interested in dynamic, parametrized destinations, such as "take me back to the start of this application process"
janina: We are not specifying the UI, we are providing what is needed to find these destinations
Lionel_Wolberger: We assessed three DDs and marked them as accepted or not, comments on the github issues
