Subject: [A11Y] Agenda of Accessibility TF meeting (Publishing CG): Thu, Feb 13, at 16 UTC
Dear all,

The conference call for accessibility task force of Publishing CG is scheduled at the following time.
Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 16:00 UTC.
Local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Accessibility+task+force+meeting%3A+Publishing+CG&iso=20250213T16&p1=1440&ah=1


The initial agenda is as follows, it can be expanded further.

1. Releasing final draft of Accessibility Metadata Display Guide for Digital Publications.
The editors think that the guide is stable enough for the final draft. The version 2.0 is a major rewrite of the version 1.0 and comes with massive improvements. Additionally, the June deadline of EAA is quite close. So, it is important that we release version 2.0 soon, which will supersede version 1.0. As always, there are further improvements that we should consider, but it can be done in short iterations after the release of version 2.0 final report.

Principles: https://w3c.github.io/publ-a11y/a11y-meta-display-guide/2.0/draft/guidelines/

2. Main topics to work on after final release.
- Additional guidance for specialized libraries producing alternate/specialized formats.
- Improvements to algorithms in techniques
- MARC techniques.
