10. Issue-686 Need a getComputedLabel and getComputedName
 - https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/issues/686
    - Met at TPAC and WebApps did not pick this up. Recommend this be moved to ARIA 2.0 when we deal with APIs.
11: Action 1624 Develop publication strategy and solution that would exclude abstract roles for authors (Michael, Shane)
 - https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/actions/1624
12. Action 2023 Write a proposal about how to modify the definition of role text to limit its use. AAPI subgroup does not want this applied to anything other than images and wants to restrict role=“text” to images in the HTML host language. We need to hear both sides one more time. The big concern is embedding links.
