Hi John This is an interesting perspective. I think it could be prt of the "module 4" proposal for personlization and scalability There was a earl working group a while ago, and we can use that.

You pose a good question, and I am taking the liberty of forwarding this to the APA WG (Accessible Platform Architecture WG), who is the 'parent' to two potentially relevant Task Forces: the Personalization TF and the Research Questions TF. I'm asking Janina to add this to our next APA agenda, and we'll endeavour to get back to you shortly. Ref: https://www.w3.org/2019/11/proposed-vc-wg-charter-2019.html JF It does intersect w/ that work, but I think the larger benefit to a11y is that a Verifiable Credential enables an individual with accessibility needs to declare those needs in a machine readable way, and in a way that an authority can assert to be true. In other words, you can interact with a website and state "these are my ADA accessibility needs as tested by XYZ Testing Company", and then the website/software could craft the experience accordingly. My hope is that we can work with the a11y community to create an Accessibility Needs Verifiable Credential in the coming year or two that can be used during log in to sites like US Veterans Affairs, hospitals, epublishing sites, etc. What will be the most effective way to make that happen? -- manu -- John Foliot | Principal Accessibility Strategist | W3C AC Representative Deque Systems - Accessibility for Good http://deque.com/
