jasonjgw: recent issues in email have been received
13:06:24 [SteveNoble]
joconnor: we received some very new comments, but were mixed between XAUR and RAUR and had to be parsed out
13:06:30 [joconnor]
https://github.com/w3c/apa/issues/167
13:07:22 [SteveNoble]
comment was not to limit the number of windows that can be pinned
13:08:12 [SteveNoble]
janina: we could simply say "pin one or more"
13:08:13 [joconnor]
https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/8ab19c819b6f22043334c2559ac0b9e72d61e549/raur/index.html#window-anchoring-and-pinning

13:11:15 [joconnor]
https://wfdeaf.org/news/resources/wfd-wasli-statement-use-signing-avatars/
13:11:21 [SteveNoble]
issue around replacing live signers with avatars
13:12:32 [SteveNoble]
joconnor: OK...this is actually a XAUR issue
13:13:53 [SteveNoble]
joconnor: new use case around changing the size of the window for signing
13:14:21 [SteveNoble]
janina: yes...that sounds good
13:14:42 [joconnor]
Josh to add new req for User Need 1 window anchoring etc
13:14:49 [joconnor]
New draft requirement: A user should have the ability to change the size of the window especially for sign language interpreters, certified deaf interpreters, and signing people.

13:21:19 [SteveNoble]
janina: once edit is in place, then we will use the new snapshot to send out with a new CFC
13:21:44 [SteveNoble]
Judy_: what about replying back to commenters first?
13:22:36 [SteveNoble]
janina: unclear if that is better than just a straight CFC
13:24:43 [SteveNoble]
joconnor: Have pinged Wendy already on her comments
13:25:32 [SteveNoble]
Judy_: will touch base with Wendy in an upcoming meeting just to make sure
13:27:06 [SteveNoble]
janina: don't think we have anything left that is controversial
13:28:19 [scott_h]
Apologies: need to drop off to attend to famly matters
13:28:32 [SteveNoble]

13:35:32 [joconnor]
Here is what we have in the XAUR https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/6d5bf713d9d7c65ecda104c213ad47b0e98cfbe1/xaur/index.html#text-description-transformation
13:35:45 [SteveNoble]
joconnor: The comment was that signing avatars were not recommended
13:36:49 [joconnor]

13:37:02 [SteveNoble]
janina: Would signing avatars be better than nothing?

13:37:47 [SteveNoble]
Judy_: this may depend on the context of the meeting and who is involved
13:38:58 [SteveNoble]
joconnor: There are contexts where this could be useful
13:39:45 [SteveNoble]
joconnor: We are mostly talking about prerecorded information
13:40:47 [joconnor]
Here is my overview and suggestion to Wendy and the group
13:40:48 [joconnor]
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2021May/0004.html
13:41:06 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: craft a comment which mentions the anticipated further technology advancement
13:42:33 [SteveNoble]
Judy_: all of this is at an early stage, so interested to make sure we hear from direct users and researchers
13:43:52 [SteveNoble]
JPaton: What about prerecorded clips of signing humans?
13:44:57 [SteveNoble]
JPaton: may want to differentiate between computer animated avatars and recorded human signers
13:45:56 [joconnor]
Josh: Heres a preference for pre-recorded signing over avatars.
13:47:36 [SteveNoble]
jasonjgw: given that XR environments will have 3d and enhanced AI, will this benefit signing avatars?
