Re: CSS Accessibility Task Force session at TPAC 2019?

Hi, Amelia:

The short answer to your question is, "Yes."

The slightly longer answer is that we need to coordinate both time and
agenda between the 3 Working Groups that comprise the CSS Accessibility
Task Force, APA, ARIA, and CSS.

There are indeed open issues that would benefit from joint discussion.
So, thanks very much for starting a list! That's exactly the next step
we need to focus on now.

Likely we've more to discuss than available time, so we'll likely
prioritize based on which participants are going to be available in
person, i.e. leverage the special knowledge of who's at the table. Just
imho of what seems a useful criterion.

During our very brief discussion of this topic on today's APA call
Joanie suggested a joint meeting either late Monday or sometime Tuesday
in order that we have sufficient time to discuss our agenda among
ourselves first. I agreed as I felt this strategy worked very well for
us last year in Lyon.
