Fwd: Web Platform charter under development

Please take a look at the new Web Platform Charter. They are considering possibly moving the HTML AAM effort to the ARIA WG. 

This is a lot of additional work. Steve, Jason, Alex, would you go with that work to develop it in ARIA? 

Cheers,
Rich

> I think APA should review from a view of deliverables and whether we need to / are able to work on accessibility review of them. But note that at a charter level there might not be anything specific to say unless there's a major flag. The important thing is that we can review the stuff in the ordinary course of business, which the charter already sets up provisions for.
> 
> I think ARIA should look at the HTML Accessibility API Mappings, and in particular take a position on whether that should continue to be a joint deliverable between Web Platform and ARIA, or just become a sole deliverable of ARIA. It should also look at whether the necessary deliverables and coordinations are expressed to ensure ARIA works in HTML. There may be other deliverables that relate to ARIA work as well.
