------

- Pronunciation 
  - Status (reboot with a focus on user needs, and specific issues) 
      - [Use Cases](https://w3c.github.io/pronunciation/user-scenarios/)
      - [Explainer](https://w3c.github.io/pronunciation/explainer/)
  - Quick wins: what more can be exposed via the accessibility tree?
- Bringing ARIA expertise into horizontal reviews 
  - Yes, please!
  - A couple of ways we could co-ordinate this, based on how APA works with other groups.

Background on accessibility reviews:

Some members of the group attended the [breakout on accessibility horizontal review for spec authors](https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/af242c02-5463-4aea-9203-7b2616111a6e/). You can check out [the slides](https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/main/presentations/2025/TPAC/building-it-in/index.html), but here are key points, in the context of this meeting:

- TAG and APA are working on ways to get a 'heads up' on proposals earlier.
- We find a lot of the input we give is to provide use cases and user needs, based on our experience, and resources such as [the Accessibility User Requirements docs](https://www.w3.org/WAI/research/user-requirements/) and ["Content Usable"](https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/).
- APA has some CSS expertise, and access to expertise in some other areas - would be great to complement this with expertise from ARIA.
- APA does [longitudinal tracking of the accessibility of specs](https://github.com/w3c/a11y-longitudinal-tracking/).
