Re: ARIA-AT call - Wednesday 2020-05-20

Robert,

ARIA-AT is a W3C Community Group. As such, it is open and we strive to be
transparent. The FAQ page for Community Groups suggests that it is okay for
people to interact with the group without officially joining
<https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#do-i-have-to-join-to-follow-a-groups-work>,
as long as they do not make material contributions. So, I think it is okay
if they join the call.

Thanks,
