Re: AOM with APA at TPAC?

Hi, James:

I've taken the liberty of adding both the APA and the ARIA lists in
reply to this question ...

Everyone at TPAC, or who would like to get on the phone with us is
absolutely welcome at each and every meeting we've scheduled. I think we
have several topics this year of wide interest, and I know for a fact we
need everyone's accessibility knowledge and experience in the
conversations. We're asking questions about new and emerging technology,
where very few of us, if any have experience. So, please do
participate!

The best way to track what APA TPAC agendum is cheduled when is on our
scheduling page here:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Meetings/TPAC_2019


In this specific instance, AOM is set for Thursday at 11:00. It's marked
"unconfirmed" only because neither Alice nor James have expressly said
they would be able to participate. I do believe Alice has indicated
interest in the topic.


Looking forward to greeting you in person in Fukuoka,

Janina
