Re: FW: Verifiable Credentials: Top A11y Use Cases

Hi Again, Manu:

Just to keep it perfectly clear --- APA exists primarily to help other
W3C Working Groups get accessibility right. Of course we need to do so
in a vendor neutral way, but we also need software implementations to
transition accessibility supporting specs to PR, so I think it's OK to
ping me and APA when there's software implementations to look at. It's
what we do, and I look forward to doing it with you and Verifiable
Claims folks.

Best,

Janina
