DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/708306ba-18f3-4284-a93a-ecd5
 060a5ecd/\n\nThis session will explore the findings and user needs describ
 ed in a working draft note of four research modules published in February 
 2026 by the Cognitive and Learning Disabilities (COGA) Task Force.\n\nThe 
 research modules are primarily intended for groups in the World Wide Web C
 onsortium (W3C) that may want to include our use cases or understand the t
 opics from a broader perspective.  \n\nThey may also contain useful inform
 ation for:\n* researchers\,\n* inclusion and research-related policy maker
 s\,\n* designers\, content creators\, and developers who wish to have a mo
 re in-depth understanding of inclusion issues.\n\nThe session will review 
 the following modules:\n* [Voice Systems and Conversational Interfaces](ht
 tps://www.w3.org/TR/2026/DNOTE-coga-voice-20260205/): This module covers i
 ssues that our users face when using conversational voice systems\, includ
 ing voice menu systems\, voice user interfaces\, and voice AI assistants.\
 n* [Technology-Assisted Indoor Navigation and Wayfinding](https://www.w3.o
 rg/TR/2026/DNOTE-coga-wayfinding-20260205/): This module is about technolo
 gy that helps users who need cognitive accessibility support navigate indo
 or spaces\, also known as wayfinding.\n* [Online Safety and Wellbeing (Alg
 orithms and Data)](https://www.w3.org/TR/2026/DNOTE-coga-safety-20260205/)
 : People with disabilities that require cognitive accessibility support fa
 ce a number of risks when using the internet and apps. This module covers 
 safety issues that our users face on the internet including cybercrime\, m
 ental health\, wellbeing\, privacy\, and more.\n* [Supported Decision-Maki
 ng Online](https://www.w3.org/TR/2026/DNOTE-coga-sdm-20260205/): This modu
 le describes the advantages and risks of supporting Supported Decision-Mak
 ing (SDM). It offers suggestions for safely supporting SDM online\, helpin
 g more people take part in the digital world while keeping their dignity a
 nd independence.\n\n**Link to slide deck:** [https://docs.google.com/prese

 ognitive accessibility related issues identified in the drafts. \n- **Disc
 uss user needs and barriers** influenced by issues such as cognitive load\
 , memory\, social reasoning\, and mental health.\n- **Explore practical so
 lutions.**\n- **Collect community feedback** on what may be missing in the
  draft modules\, such as user scenarios\, technology\, user needs\, or res
 earch.\n- **Identify opportunities for cross-group collaboration** within 
 W3C groups (e.g.\, COGA TF\, APA WG\, AG WG\, and other relevant groups).\
 n\nAgenda\n\n1. **Today's Goals and COGA Background (5 minutes)** \n2. **C
 OGA's Research Modules (25 minutes):** This will include examples of user 
 needs and challenges as well as possible solutions and other relevant W3C 
 work. \n3. **Questions and Feedback (20 minutes):** Discuss opportunities 
 to enhance this draft note\, explore new areas for research\, and collabor
 ate with other W3C teams on standards and research work.\n4. **Wrap-up and

 g the evolution of its activities to broaden the scope and support the upc
 oming trends of hybrid apps\, including on-the-fly AI-generated apps in re
 sponse to chatbot-user interactions\, dedicated standard profiles to suppo
 rt existing super-app ecosystems\, and other use cases such as OS widgets.
   This session aims to explore those new use cases and opportunities for s
 tandardization\, and get feedback for the re-chartering of the WG.\n \nDur
 ing TPAC 2025\, we met and discussed the feasibility of including the requ
 irements of the WebViews community\, as most of the cases we discussed inv
 olve embedded browsers. We considered the interesting Isolated Web Apps (I
 WA) proposal\, since IWA offers a way to pack\, distribute\, and isolate s
 mall apps\, as super-apps require.\n \nWe expected to be enlightened by ex
 perts from other communities\, including\, but not limited to\, MiniApps\,
  WebViews\, WebDevX\, and WinterTC.\n\n**Goal(s):**\nObjective: Obtain fee

 wg/pointer-events/) would like to explore the possibility of adding native
  gesture support to the web platform. Currently\, authors have to rely on 
 third-party solutions\, or roll their own gesture recognition from basic p
 rinciples (tracking individual pointers and analysing their movement to de
 termine if they user is trying to perform a gesture or not).\n\nThis featu
 re has been requested various times over the years.\n\nAt this stage\, we 
 envisage a basic set of gestures such as "swipe"\, "scale"\, "rotate" that
  authors can "listen for" - see https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issue

DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/0b800c4d-7808-468a-b3ed-19d2
 852490b1/\n\nMany jurisdictions have enacted (or are currently enacting) r
 egulations on age-based restrictions to online content. These regulations\
 , and their requirements\, can have significant effects on technical archi
 tectures and on end users. Some proposed solutions may be misaligned with 
 such core web principles as privacy\, interoperability\, and freedom of ex
 pression. Given this potential threat to a healthy web\, and the need for 
 collaboration among many stakeholders to address the challenges of online 
 safety\, we propose that W3C should provide a forum where these issues can
  be discussed among a diverse group of experts. In this session\, we will 
 present an initial proposal for bringing together technologists\, policyma
 kers\, and other interested parties to examine these issues in depth.  One
  concrete outcome from this breakout could be the creation of a W3C Commun
 ity Group which could address the specific *web-related* conversations on 
 age restrictions. Community Groups enable anyone to gather at W3C to socia
 lize ideas\, including topics that involve coordination as complex as this
  one. We are already involved through the October 2025 [W3C/IAB workshop o
 n Age-Based Restrictions on Content](https://www.w3.org/events/workshops/2
 025/iab-w3c-workshop-on-age-based-restrictions-on-content-access/)\, and a
 ctivities in groups such as the [Privacy Working Group] (https://www.w3.or
 g/groups/wg/privacy/)\; we are well-positioned to offer the necessary foru
 m for the community to figure out where and when to take the next steps.\n
 \n**Goal(s):**\nGet feedback from the web community on a proposal for adva
 ncing the technical and policy discussions about age-based restrictions to
  online content\, including new ideas\, potential opportunities\, ways to 
 promote collaboration\, and obstacles to avoid.\n\nAgenda\n\n**Materials:*

  at improving the document's conformance model. Open questions include wha
 t the scope of conformance is (both what to claim conformance of\, eg a we
 bsite or a page\, and what to claim conformance with\, eg a guideline or s
 uccess criterion)\, the balance between allowing for partial conformance a
 nd enabling greenwashing\, and how the conformance model fits with externa

DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/bccff937-0e07-487f-bbee-6fb7

 y are easy to publish on the web (no need to convert them to PDF) and typi
 cally more accessible than other formats. We provide an HTML template for 
 people talking on behalf of W3C. And\, as we also like it when all talks f
 or an event follow a common graphical style\, we also publish templates fo
 r certain events\, such as AC meetings. The majority of presenters at each
  AC meeting indeed uses its template…\n\n… but not everybody! Why is t
 hat? One reason is probably that there is no dedicated editor that makes i
 t easy to write slides. And so I set out writing one.\n\nIn fact\, differe
 nt people have different opinions on what makes it easy to write slides\, 
 so the one editor became two: one that lets people edit slides as Markdown
  text and one WYSIWYG editor.\n\n**Goal(s):**\nThis breakout takes a look 
 at two dedicated editors in early development for writing slides in HTML\,
  asks where they should be heading and how they can help people write slid
 es for events such as TPAC and the AC.\n\nAgenda\n\nI'll show you the curr
 ent state of the two editors and then I'd like to discuss things such as:\
 n* What else could entice people to write HTML slides and use the template
 s we offer? More tools? Examples? Snippets and images to copy & paste?\n* 
 What editing features are necessary and which are less important in the sh
 ort term?\n* What is the best or easiest way to publish slides online? (Ou
 r tradition is to collect all slides of an event and publish them together
  on the W3C site.)\n* What should be the scope of the editor? E.g.\, it is
  currently aimed at writing slides in an existing style. You can add CSS r
 ules with a built-in text editor\, but there is no dedicated CSS editor.\n
 * Also\, the scope is currently limited to slides\, and in particular to s
 lides in the format for B6+ and Shower.\n* Security and quality: What can 
 go wrong when people use these editors and what should be done about it?\n
 * What is the best process for developing the editors and getting feedback
  and help?\n\nSee also the [slides](https://www.w3.org/Talks/2026/0325-sli

 evel failures\, but coordination failures across layers: platforms\, insti
 tutions\, governance\, and interfaces.\n\nFragmentation\, reality collapse
 \, and narrative dominance are often discussed socially or politically\, b
 ut they also reflect a deeper technical condition: context\, provenance\, 
 and accountability do not travel together across today’s Web architectur
 es.\n\nThis session introduces a design challenge framework for “breakin
 g out of silos” by making these hidden constraints visible. Rather than 
 proposing solutions\, we focus on orientation: mapping where coordination 
 breaks\, why certain outcomes feel inevitable\, and where seams might exis
 t for standards\, tooling\, or governance to intervene.\n\nThe goal is not
  consensus or advocacy\, but shared visibility into the systems we are alr
 eady inside.\n\n**Goal(s):**\nTo help participants see the structural cond
 itions shaping today’s web - and collaboratively map where coordination 
 breaks\, power concentrates\, and alternative design paths might still exi
 st.\n\nAgenda\n\nAgenda — Breaking Out: Seeing the System We Are Inside\

SUMMARY:ISOC Policymakers Program: A model for supporting one interoperable

DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/88141057-141d-4596-86b9-8c2b
 1a51d062/\n\nThe Internet Society (ISOC) has provided the [IETF Policymake
 rs Program](https://www.internetsociety.org/policy-programs/policymakers-p
 rogram-to-ietf/) since 2012. As their program description explains\, "The 
 IETF Policymaker Program offers training to policymakers on how the Intern
 et works. It also provides visibility into the Internet’s standards deve
 lopment process. When policymakers understand how the Internet works\, how
  it’s evolved\, and the standards that underpin it\, they can develop be
 tter policies that support the Internet as a resource to enrich people’s
  lives." Last year\, W3C launched a [Policy Engagement](https://www.w3.org
 /2025/06/w3c-2025-2028-strategic-objectives-and-initiatives/index.html#5-5
 -policy-engagement) initiative\, which shares similar goals: providing exp
 ertise and insight from the W3C community to governing bodies and policyma
 kers to ensure future policies are better informed by our collective knowl
 edge and values. \n\nOne possible way for us to provide expertise is to cr
 eate a program similar to the ISOC Policymakers Program\, leveraging what 
 they have learned over decades of experience and\, hopefully\, finding a w
 ay to adapt their approach for a W3C context. We would like to get feedbac
 k and ideas from the community about this approach to policymaker training
 . This session includes a presentation on the basics of the Policymakers P
 rogram\, followed by interactive discussion.\n\n**Goal(s):**\nTo explore t
 he idea of deploying a "policymakers program" for the web/W3C\n\nAgenda\n\

 bldl.github.io/specalt-web/) for exploring decision spaces and making trad
 e-offs between design alternatives visible. The tool lets users map interc
 onnected choices and highlight issues as decisions evolve\, and suggests [
 optimal design](https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/3732771.3742715) combi
 nations based on defined priorities. We'll walk through how the tool works
  using a standards example (originally tried for one of the TC39 proposals
 ). We'll discuss how the tool could potentially help W3C groups compare op
 tions\, structure discussions\, and move complex proposals forward with mo
 re clarity. The session focuses on hands-on demonstration and open discuss
 ion around practical use in W3C work.\n\n**Goal(s):**\nDemonstrate an inte
 ractive decision-support tool and explore whether it could help W3C groups
  structure discussions and compare design alternatives.\n\nAgenda\n\n1. We

DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/ebda7af1-1b21-43e1-977d-faa4
 6283dc70/\n\nAt TPAC 2025\, we [introduced the Hyper-Layering Architecture
  (HLA)](https://svgmap.org/movie/TPAC2025/index_HLA_breakout.html) as a We
 b-native approach to spatial integration. Since then\, a [Hyper-Layering A
 rchitecture Draft Community Report](https://svgmap.org/movie/TPAC2025/Hype
 rLayeringArchitectureCommunityReport.html) has been published\, and relate
 d discussions are continuing within the [Maps for HTML Community Group](ht
 tps://www.w3.org/groups/cg/maps4html/).\n\nThis session shifts the focus f
 rom architectural discussion to **practical progress**.\n\n[SVGMap](https:
 //svgmap.org/movie/TPAC2025/index_HLA_breakout.html) and its reference imp
 lementation (SVGMap.js) provide a lightweight\, client-side foundation ref
 lecting HLA principles. Recent momentum has centered on the growing ecosys
 tem of **ready-to-use layers** collected in [svgmapAppLayers](https://gith
 ub.com/svgmap/svgmapAppLayers)\, along with practical [tutorials](https://
 github.com/svgmap/tutorials).\n\nWe refer to this model as *Layers as WebA
 pps (LaWA)* — treating each map layer as an independent Web application 
 that can be combined directly in the browser.\n\nThis session will be an i
 nformal\, interactive meetup focused on demos\, international community up
 dates\, and sharing real-world layers that are ready to use today.\n\nThe 
 session will be conducted primarily in English\, with Japanese support if 
 needed (slides can include bilingual elements)\n\n##### Format\nInformal m
 eetup style:\n- Short intro & updates (10–15 min)\n- Lightning talks / p
 articipant shares (15–20 min)\n- Open discussion\, live demos\, and idea
  jam (rest of time)\n- Tools: Browser (SVGMap demo pages)\, IRC/Zoom chat 
 for links & questions\n- Real-time scribing on IRC (W3C bots will handle m
 inutes)\n- If recording the session\, consent will be sought at the start\
 n\n##### Why at Breakouts Day?\n- Strong alignment with Web geospatial int
 erests (SVG WG\, Spatio-temporal Data on the Web CG/IG topics)\n- Focus on
  practical\, open\, client-side tools that anyone can try instantly\n- Opp
 ortunity to grow an international community around ready-to-use map layers
 \n- Encourage cross-pollination: "If you have geospatial data\, let's make
  it a LaWA layer!"\n\n##### Related Links\n- tutorials: https://github.com
 /svgmap/tutorials\n- svgmapAppLayers overview & catalog: https://deepwiki.
 com/svgmap/svgmapAppLayers\n- SVGMap repo: https://github.com/svgmap\n\nLo
 oking forward to your thoughts\, emoji reactions :+1:\, or "I'd like to jo
 in/share my layer!" comments!\n\n**Goal(s):**\nShare practical progress on
  HLA and SVGMap since TPAC 2025 and gather community feedback.\n\nAgenda\n
 \n- **[svgmapAppLayers](https://github.com/svgmap/svgmapAppLayers) Highlig
 hts** (LaWA concept demo)\n  - Philosophy: Framework is the engine\; Layer
 s are the real content (246+ layers across 13 categories)\n  - Japanese ex
 pansions: JMA weather radar\, MLIT hazard/flood maps\, river CCTV\, evacua
 tion sites\, medical POI\, seismic data\, etc.\n  - [Canadian svgMapAppLay
 ers](https://github.com/svgmap/canadianSvgmapAppLayers/) kickoff (early in
 ternational content efforts)\n  - Global integrations: NASA FIRMS fires\, 
 NOAA nowCOAST\, yr.no weather tiles\, Sentinel-2\, USGS earthquakes\, OSM 
 basemaps\, etc.\n  - Lightning round: Participants share their own recent 
 layer additions / tweaks (bring your permalink!)\n\n- **[Tutorial](https:/
 /github.com/svgmap/tutorials) Internationalization Progress**\n  - Making 
 tutorials "immediately usable" guides (layer creation\, CSV/GeoJSON import
 \, dynamic tiles\, etc.)\n  - English + Japanese (and plans for more langu
 ages) to lower barriers for global users\n  - Feedback wanted: What tutori
 al gaps exist for newcomers?\n\n- **Live Demos & Interactive Part**\n  - B
 rowser-only demos: Load layers via permalink\, overlay data\, play with fi
 lters/time animation\n  - Community sharing: "What data would you like to 
 layer next?" or "I made this layer — here's the link!"\n  - Q&A and brai
 nstorming for future layers / improvements\n\n**Materials:**\n- [slides](h
