Hello Chris,
I very much regret that I will not be able to attend this joint call (due
to a prior client commitment).
An additional resource that may be worth reviewing is the Media
Accessibility User Requirements (MAUR), found at:
https://www.w3.org/TR/media-accessibility-reqs/
Originally researched and created during the development of HTML 5's media
elements, this document contains the following:
- Summary of Accessible Media Requirements by Type of Disability
- Alternative Content Technologies (captions, and more)
- System Requirements (hardware and software requirements for all users)
It may provide to your call some additional requirements to contemplate and
review.
I will look forward to reviewing minutes of this call.
Cheers!
JF
