Re: Becky Gibson appointed co-chair of the Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group (Fwd)

Dear APA Task Force Colleagues:

It is appropriate that all APA Task Forces also be made aware that APA
now has two Co-Chairs. It gives me great pleasure to announce and
welcome Becky Gibson to the Co-Chairing role in APA. The formal W3C
announcement follows.

Janina
