14:21:12 [janina]
Roy_Ruoxi: Notes effort (or accidental?) drop of A11y Driver
14:21:35 [janina]
matatk: Definitely a concern; project seemed to be going well
14:21:58 [matatk]
Roy's comment: https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/558#issuecomment-4602323737
14:23:11 [janina]

14:23:41 [janina]

agendum 5 -- [Spec review requests](https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request/issues) -- taken up [from janina]
14:26:07 [matatk]
subtopic: Digital Credentials
14:26:11 [matatk]
due 2026-07-14
14:26:20 [matatk]
https://github.com/w3c/a11y-tracking/issues/325
14:26:52 [janina]
matatk: Is an API to facilitate presentation and verification of credentials
14:27:14 [janina]
matatk: Could be wide ranging application
14:27:21 [janina]
matatk: A concert ticket ...
14:27:32 [janina]
matatk: A governmentally issued ID
14:27:48 [janina]
matatk: Would integrate and store in a digital wallet
14:28:28 [janina]
matatk: So api provides for some mediation and interaction
14:28:52 [janina]
matatk: May replace holding a passport up to the camera
14:29:22 [janina]
matatk: Could be age verification
14:29:26 [janina]
q+
14:32:05 [janina]
matatk: This not the selective disclosure of of verifiable credentials approach
14:33:05 [janina]
matatk: Zero knowledge proof on the horizon -- would support selective
14:33:35 [janina]
matatk: There are other systems
14:34:16 [janina]
matatk: It's a complex area over all; this API is request and presentation of credentials
14:35:35 [janina]
matatk: Work has been controversial; laws very; misuse a concern; but lots of legitimate use that could be empowering
14:36:09 [janina]
matatk: W3C has chosen to be involved rather than not while work continued elsewhere
14:36:27 [janina]
matatk: We need to focus on a11y; other groups will address other concerns
14:36:49 [janina]
matatk: Some of what we might ask would be out of scope for our comment
14:37:27 [janina]
matatk: We can still encourage use of more supportive approaches
14:37:58 [janina]
matatk: the Accessibility Considerations section does include some normative provisions
14:38:11 [janina]
matatk: We need to look for what might be missing
14:38:11 [matatk]
q?
14:38:14 [janina]
q?
14:38:18 [janina]
ack ja
14:38:53 [matatk]
q?
14:39:26 [janina]
matatk: Status is beyond FPWD; is wanting CR
14:39:48 [janina]
matatk: It's a formal review request
14:40:08 [janina]
PaulG: Is the credential or the mechanism for accessing/mediating?
14:40:16 [janina]
matatk: The latter -- the API
14:40:51 [janina]
matatk: Certain ISO formats have been chosen by gov entities; so choices already made
14:41:50 [janina]
paul: Is it challenge and wallet?
14:42:04 [janina]
matatk: yes, both sides of the communication
14:44:00 [janina]
matatk: My guess that this relies on browser UI; so browser for wallet management
14:45:48 [janina]
PaulG: concerned how we manage for users who may have multiple wallets on multiple devices; how do you know what's what?
14:46:01 [janina]
PaulG: potential for frustration is high
14:46:20 [janina]
PaulG: You need confidence request is from a trusted source
14:46:40 [janina]
q+
14:47:36 [janina]
PaulG: may have passwords in multiple managers; this can get complicated
14:48:01 [janina]
PaulG: User needs to know who's asking; and we need confidence our end to end concerns are covered somewhere
14:49:28 [matatk]
janina: We need to know who's supporting what.
14:49:40 [matatk]
janina: It's often not clear who's asking for a password, when you have n windwos open.
14:50:15 [matatk]
janina: Password managers not always reliable; old credentials don't die easily
14:50:58 [matatk]
janina: who's asking is important; if there's any challenge-response going on it's vital we can trust it
14:51:47 [janina]
PaulG: agrees; who's asking and do we trust their request? How to get more detail because we're concerned over spoofing
14:53:14 [janina]
janina: Also user initiated expire and delete
14:53:26 [janina]
matatk: boundaries are unclear and important they be clarified
14:54:09 [janina]
matatk: I'll distill into our tracking thread from these notes as we figure out next steps
14:54:23 [janina]
matatk: Would be good for us to file issues and do so early
14:55:51 [janina]
janina: similar to the notification with just an OK option; but no good access to content or Esc to dismiss
14:55:57 [janina]
PaulG: What about COGA docs?
14:55:59 [janina]
matatk: yes
14:56:28 [janina]
matatk: This will come back for us to continue
14:56:38 [janina]
matatk: Thanks for a good conversation
