An invitation from the W3C WAI-Adapt Task Force

Dear Richard:

We're writing to invite you, either in person or virtually via Zoom,  to
a W3C Face to Face meeting concerning AAC symbols standardization. Our
Accessible Platform Architectures (A)A Working Group Task force,
WAI-Adapt, will be meeting at the Samsung facility near London's Heathrow Airport
on Monday and Tuesday, May 5 and 6. We've made great progress regarding
supporting AAC in web content, but questions remain, and your expertise
is highly relevant. So, we hope you will be able to join us--virtually
or in person--for at least some of the time.

All relevant details for this meeting, including realtime agenda updates
as well as pointers to local lodging, are provided on this wiki page:

[WAI-Adapt Face to Face, May 5 & 6](https://github.com/w3c/adapt/wiki/2025%E2%80%9005-Face-to-face-meeting)

It now appears APA will be creating only a normative registry specification in support
of AAC in order to support content authoring. User agent support will
rely on existing unicode font mechanisms.

We want you to know that user agent vendors are tending strongly towards a reliance on
Ruby in achieving AAC support in web content. We understand that this has been a concern in I18N, and we want to provide
the opportunity to air any remaining issues. 

Thanking you in advance,

Janina & Matthew APA Co-Chairs
On behalf of WAI-Adapt
