Accessibility of remote meetings.

jasonjgw: Emails with the EO working group have transpired

jasonjgw: They may have comments on the draft

jasonjgw: We do not yet have an ETA on comments as of this point

jasonjgw: The CfC runs through Friday

scott: Have we any new COGA comments?

janina: We went through all their comments and dealt with each one, although not all were adopted

janina: Would be good to have a summary of how we addressed each comment

Scott: will look at these and list them out so they are documented

jasonjgw: Other comments

Accessibility of collaboration tools.

Inaccessibility of CAPTCHA.

Lionel_Wolberger: Apple has moved forward with Passkey

Lionel_Wolberger: We are tracking this - reached out to get more details

Lionel_Wolberger: Meeting with Manu this week - should give us more perspective

janina: There is a movement away from multiple passwords, which should also be heading toward human authentication

Raja: There are a lot of users who find face recognition or verbal authentication innaccessible - especially if there are more than one users on a give device

janina: We have always stressed multiple authentication techniques

janina: There are mechanisms for a single device to accommodate multiple users

janina: The problem is when a user who doesn't already have account access set up tries to use it

Josh: downloadable keys are also a possible method

jasonjgw: The expectation is that the user has at least one method that works for them

janina: APA has always insisted that the multiple biometric options be available - not just one

janina: A lot of this presumes access to a mobile device - which is not a reality everywhere

jasonjgw: We can come back to this next week

jasonjgw: At some point we will need to update the existing document

janina: That would probably be after TPAC due to other priorities

Lionel_Wolberger: Any further thoughts from Raja?

Raja: Nothing else

Lionel_Wolberger: One corner of this discussion of caretaker identities (like power of attorney in the legal field)

Lionel_Wolberger: One example is a child's account that must be set up by a parent

raja: One example is using a voice relay service

Raja: Cannot use voice authentication for a bank account, since the vocal assistant changes

raja: Under US law, all banks must accept a call that comes from a voice relay service

Lionel_Wolberger: Examples include fiduciary, caretaker, POA, interpreter, etc.

janina: A lot of concerns also for users with cognitive issues

Lionel_Wolberger: Thanks to the signers on the call!

Accessibility of collaboration tools.

jasonjgw: Thanks to Scott for the references on the wiki

jasonjgw: We need a title and need to firm up the scope

jasonjgw: Annotation tools should be in scope

jasonjgw: Ideas for refining the scope and title?

Scott: Like the term "online collaboration tools"

janina: Regardless of the title, we need the short name for the repository

Josh: "Collaboration accessibility user requirements"

jasonjgw: Some points include Revision management, annotation and comments, multiple users at the same time, handling viewing and editing rights, etc.

janina: We can assume Copyright issues are handled by access rights and policies
