Roy_Ruoxi: Shacl12 UI, no mention of a11y in their document. Best next steps? (This is a low level document)
14:07:53 [matatk]

14:08:15 [Eric_hind]
Janina: With UI, we should have a look at it.

14:09:14 [Eric_hind]
matatk: Agreed, we should be involved. Was peripherally looked at in the past with other Shacl reviews - this one is marked as v1.2, not sure if this is new/refreshed.
14:10:39 [Eric_hind]
matatk: We should take a look. Recommend next steps of contacting group about how best to review (github/email, etc)
14:11:34 [Eric_hind]
Janina: Mostly sure that we haven't done any official Shacl UI reviews. This will be a new thing.
14:12:20 [Eric_hind]
matatk: We will connect with the chairs of the group to see best next steps
14:12:34 [marcelo]

14:12:46 [Eric_hind]
Janina: We should review previous Shacl decisions too

14:14:27 [Eric_hind]
Janina: Given that this related to form/content generation, we should be involved.
14:14:47 [Eric_hind]
marcelo: Willing to volunteer or be in the loop on this.
14:15:55 [Eric_hind]
matatk: We could do this dual track - ask what format of communication while also starting the reviewing.
14:16:21 [Eric_hind]

14:18:17 [matatk]
Last week's minutes (thanks Roy_Ruoxi): https://www.w3.org/2026/05/20-apa-minutes.html#2e03
14:19:36 [Eric_hind]
matatk: There was a question with marcelo and paulG about impact of machine learning on protocols. Will the protocol itself need to be changed to support AI?
14:19:59 [Eric_hind]
Janina: Reminder that this is a charter of the working group - should be a part of the deliverables.
14:20:22 [matatk]
q+
14:20:34 [Eric_hind]
marcelo: The discussion was around the webdriver and specific browser - question was around expanding this to QA tools?
14:20:37 [matatk]

14:21:51 [Eric_hind]
matatk: Point of the work related to bidirectional is only in one tool, but others will be supporting webdriver bidirectional and the engines. So opening up to other tools is happening organically.
14:23:36 [Eric_hind]
Janina: Do we want language change to their charter? matatk is OK with it as-is, but could do with more clarity on how this will expand to other platofrms.
14:24:33 [Eric_hind]
matatk: We should likely sign off on it for now as-is.
