RE: [PROTOCOLS] Minutes from 09/24/2021

Minor correction: I was suggesting that a memory care center might use a W3C protocol related to memory, as opposed to the center creating its own protocol. Both are possibilities. But, I’m particularly interested in two potential outcomes of protocols:

* Businesses could choose W3C protocols specific to their target audience and so be able to greatly enhance accessibility for communities they specifically serve. (For example, for a memory care center, implementing a memory-related protocol might be much more valuable than targeting a more general Gold/AAA standard.)
* Teams could choose protocols somewhat arbitrarily, and this could create variety across a business or across an industry. This might give users the ability to select an app that meets their specific usability needs more readily. (For example, if several banking apps were to choose different W3C usability accessibility protocols, it might be more likely that a particular user could find a banking app that works smoothly for them.)
