Request for feedback on user permissions

Hello all,

We need your feedback for a position statement we're submitting to the W3C Workshop on Permissions [1] - this is an important area for accessibility. We just became aware of the workshop and have a tight deadline of the end of the week, so we're looking for any thoughts you may have that we could use to flesh out the following points, which occurred to us:

Short-term goals:
* Obviating CAPTCHA (see <https://www.w3.org/TR/turingtest/>).
* Terms of Service (especially, but not exclusively, cognitive accessibility issues arising from the language used in them).
* Privacy preservation, even when using services that improve accessibility and need selective disclosure of particular needs in order to access them.
* Mediated/on-the-fly transformation of services to render them more appropriate for people with specific accessibility needs.

Long-term goals:
* Opportunities with verifiable credentialing including medical, and legal, permissions/authorisations. Durable medical e-formats, wills (see <https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/Some_use_cases_for_verifiable_credentials>)

Please add to this thread with any thoughts/references you may have - even if it's only snippets, or bits and bobs, any feedback would be appreciated. We'll collate it and send it over later in the week.

Also: we are working on in-person attendance, and think we may have that sorted, but if you happen to be able to attend, and want to represent APA, let us know.

best regards,


Matthew
