Call for Consensus (CfC): Publish Spoken Presentation FPWD

Colleagues:

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Accessible Platform
Architectures (APA) Working Group proposing publication of our Spoken
Presentation Specification document as a First Public Working Draft
(FPWD). The document to review for this CfC can be found here:

https://raw.githack.com/w3c/pronunciation/90425c2688b59b8655ff9c30fbcbb6ebbbfdc72d/technical-approach/index.html

This action was requested by our Spoken Presentation Task Force
following several years of gap analysis, requirements enumeration,  and
specification development.  The request to publish as an FPWD is
documented here:

https://www.w3.org/2021/04/07-pronunciation-minutes.html#ResolutionSummary

IMPORTANT NOTE: This FPWD publication presents two technical approaches
which the Task Force believes could meet its accessibility requirements
with a request to the wider community to indicate which approach is
preferable and why. It is hoped that substantial community response can
aid in choosing the better approach for accessibility which can also
assist spoken presentation generally, well beyond any accessibility
specific use cases. As usual we prefer solutions for accessibility that
are also generally applicable and have wide stakeholder approbation.

***Action to Take***

This CfC is now open for objection, comment, as well as statements of
support via email. Silence will be interpreted as support, though
messages of support are certainly welcome.

If you object to this proposed action, or have comments concerning this
proposal, please respond by replying on list to this message no later
than 23:59 (Midnight) Boston Time, Wednesday 12 May.

NOTE: This Call for Consensus is being conducted in accordance with the
APA Decision Policy published at:
