janina: Still awaiting review from COGA; still being worked on

scott_h: No problems on waiting

jasonjgw: Correction: there was a link sent to a review document

jasonjgw: We don't have GitHub issues yet, however

janina: We should be able to work with whatever format they have submitted

<jasonjgw> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CJhBYRI-zk2rl_mohHZ63xAGZxzpDMxhHhXT66bjFBI/edit

scott_h: Will be able to go through as an initial pass and comment on some of the recommendations

janina: One example issue is the use of strikethrough text, which isn't made known to screen readers; but there is work towards making this information available using annotation; these are the sorts of things CTAUR can address

jasonjgw: Should bring this back next week

Media accessibility: update and planning.

jasonjgw: List of additional issues was sent

scott_h: Don't remember seeing it

One is https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rqtf/2023Jul/0008.html

The other is https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rqtf/2023Jul/0007.html

janina: Accessibility meetup NYC is having a presentation on using AI to provide accessibility to Canvas

janina: The date is August 1

jasonjgw: A link to the meeting recording will be very useful

janina: One rationale given for Canvas as opposed to HTML was for faster animation; but as a result, accessibility support becomes extrememly problematic

jasonjgw: We should begin discussing these issues next week

janina: That all relates to updating the MAUR

Miscellaneous updates and topics.

Janina

janina: Expect to be here next week, while managing issues around the move

janina: Moving day is August 2, so that day will be questionable

jasonjgw: Have seen a lot of communications of concerns around generative AI and copyright infringement.
