Hi, Jonathan, Katie forwarded your note to APA, so I'm responding to let you know that we've worked with Second Screen over the years. We were initially concerned that the various use cases discussed in the Media Accessibility User Requirements (MAUR) [1] were addressed and supported by Second Screen. They asked us also for additional use cases and requirements which were provided--though I'd have to do a little digging to point you to that communication as some time has passed since. Those interactions occured when the HTML Accessibility Task Force was still active. I do intend we'll ask for APA coordination via their charter, now that they're moving to become a Working Group. I doubt that will be controversial. I'm also confident they'd appreciate your participation, if you're so inclined.

I wanted to find out if there has been any connection with this group (or community group) in regards to accessibility. Perhaps accessibility of these second screens is less an issue about the API and more about the user agents – but it is something we could keep on the radar. Is there anything related to accessibility that you think should be included in a charter? For example, second screens can be interactive and not just passive devices. People using assistive technology such as touch screen AT interact with the device with more than just the pointer location. > > > > Jonathan > > > > Jonathan Avila > > Chief Accessibility Officer > > SSB BART Group > > jon.avila@ssbbartgroup.com <mailto:jon.avila@ssbbartgroup.com> > > 703.637.8957 (Office) > > > > Visit us online: <http://www.ssbbartgroup.com/> Website | <https://twitter.com/SSBBARTGroup> Twitter | <https://www.facebook.com/ssbbartgroup> Facebook | <https://www.linkedin.com/company/355266?trk=tyah> Linkedin | <http://www.ssbbartgroup.com/blog/> Blog > > <http://www.ssbbartgroup.com/webinars/> Check out our Digital Accessibility Webinars! > > > -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Email: janina@rednote.net Linux Foundation Fellow Executive Chair, Accessibility Workgroup: http://a11y.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Chair, Accessible Platform Architectures http://www.w3.org/wai/apa
