Betreff: 48-Hour Call for Consensus (CfC): POE Use Cases and Requirements

Colleagues:

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Accessible Platform Architectures
(APA) Working Group on a proposed APA comment to the Permissions &
Obligations Expression (POE) Working Group, concerning their now stable Use
Cases and Requirements document

**Background**

The Abstract of this POE document states:

"This document includes a set of use cases and requirements, compiled by the
Permissions & Obligations Expression (POE) Working Group, that motivate the
expression of statements about digital content usage. All use cases provide
realistic examples describing how people and organisations may (or want to
be able to) specify statements about digital content usage. The requirements
derived from these use cases will be used to guide the development of the
POE WG recommendation deliverables for the Information Model, Vocabulary,
and Encodings."

**Suggested Comment**

The Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group has reviewed the
POE's Use Cases and Requirements document at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/poe-ucr/


We were unable to find  the following accessibility use case in this
document and request it be added to this document and appropriately
addressed in all resulting normative specifications.

Historically, similar schemes have been used to deny content access to
assistive technology users, e.g. Microsoft Reader, Adobe PDF (which to this
day includes a checkbox for denying AT access).

POE  should clearly state its intention to include alternate access
technologies among it's licensed uses, and require implementing technologies
to insure they will not be blocked, neither intentionally nor incidentally.
 
*       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, Sunday 17 February.

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

http://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/decision-policy
