 Agenda
------

### review of latest proposal for automation UI in ARIA-AT App

Over the past few months, we've been simultaneously implementing and refining the user interface for automated response collection in ARIA-AT App. During the meeting, we can review [the latest iteration of the design](https://github.com/w3c/aria-at-app/issues/732#issuecomment-1771381711).

### continued discussion of the restrictions on simulating key presses in macOS

We discussed lessons learned during TPAC 2023 during [the community group's previous meeting](https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/cff6ac42-bdc2-4a38-8993-7dd46e507741/20231023T120000/). One of those related to the macOS maintainers' reluctance to expose any API for simulating key presses. [https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/cff6ac42-bdc2-4a38-8993-7dd46e507741/20230925T120000/](https://github.com/w3c/at-driver/) and the tests in ARIA-AT currently rely on this capability, so the feedback has the potential to change the projects substantially.

We began a discussion to understand the security concerns which motivated the feedback from the macOS maintainers. That conversation was ongoing when the meeting ended, so we can revisit it during this week's meeting.

### field questions on AT Driver from JAWS maintainers

Folks from Vispero have begun reviewing [the AT Driver proposal](https://github.com/w3c/at-driver/), and they have some questions they'd like to ask the group.
