Re: (Draft) Accessibility in CSS proposal from APA

Colleagues:

We've recieved no comments on the below in the past weeks. Meanwhile,
the ARIA Working Group has approved the draft Task Force Work Statement
as proposed:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-aria-admin/2016Aug/0018.html

If there are indeed no issues with the TF draft, we would ask that CSS
move to adopt it according to its own process. APA will do the same over
the next week.

Also, we would request joint meeting time during TPAC to organize this
work effort according to the terms of the Work Statement and the initial
summary of issues referenced below.


As our calendar at TPAC is just now being organized, we are open to time
and date suggestions from CSS. One good option from our perspective
would be Tuesday morning from 09:00 until the mid-morning coffee break.
