Well, COGA is part of APA, so we'll look to you for that input.

So, this particular set of draft comments pertains to an API for TV
Remote Control. I think you're talking about an user agent
implementation. I presume you don't object to the API itself being
feature rich? That's in fact our argument--missing features to support
accessibility.

OK. I think these would be useful insights for an update of the MAUR,
which we will be undertaking later this year. I don't see this as part
of comments on an API, though. Am I missing something?

I suspect the U.S. may have a lead in this area in so far as it has enacted explicit legislative requirements, which you rightly cite. I nonetheless wonder whether there are corresponding moves elsewhere that should be noted also. I'm not requesting research on the point, but if anyone in APA is aware of other relevant regulatory activities, references would be helpful.
