Joining Late 6/9/17 & Questions

Hi Everyone,

My husband is having an outpatient procedure in the morning and he is not
allowed to drive himself home.  I have to get him to the hospital and then
drop my daughter off at her day camp and then head back to the hospital.  I
am hoping that I can join once I am settled back into the waiting room.

Before I forget, I have a couple of questions:

   1. I have a project manager on my team that has some bandwidth and can
   help manage meetings and follow-ups with researchers.  Do I need to go
   through our AC rep to get her put on the AGWG and then assigned to the
   Silver Task Force, or can I just get her help managing researchers?
   2. As you are probably aware, the COGA task force is being largely
   unsuccessful in getting any SCs into 2.1.  There are many reasons for this,
   but Lisa wanted me to ask you guys a few questions as part of her effort to
   plan for the future:


   - Will the Accessible Platform Architecture (APA)
   <https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/> be part of what is potentially pulled into
   Silver?
   - Will semantics for Personalization under ARIA be brought into Silver
   and under what conditions?

I realize that we don't really have solid answers about what will and will
not ultimately be in Silver, but I am hoping that you can give me some kind
of guidance that I can communicate back to Lisa.
