Great, thanks for the feedback both. It's very useful.

Right, and mine - so it would be great if we could get to an 
understanding of what a baseline semantic architecture for XR would look 
like, and then we can work out what are the annotations a la ARIA or 
something new - that does provide the vocabulary for the areas we have 
identified like Navigation, Object and Interaction semantics.

This is really why meeting and discussing is going to be (a lot of fun) 
and very helpful.

Well that is a rather general session/conversation around how to provide 
better engagement on XR with the current a11y community, as well as let 
people know of the work we are all doing in this space. For example 
Léonie and Doms upcoming workshop, and our current XAUR drafts as well 
as how people can engage with this work who may not be monitoring it so 
closely. So I think this will be more general whereas the AOM topic is 
quite specific and your expertise is needed.

Thanks, and I look forward to working with you.
