Re: Proposals for a new key/glossary term "accessibility services of software and assistive technology"

I like proposal 2

I think the sentence is parsed     accessibility services of software, and assistive technology  and is better written     "assistive technology and accessibility services of software"   

and your Proposal #2 then works great.

Proposal #2 instead just tries to define the first part of the phrase, "accessibility services of software".  This wasn't precisely what WCAG WG asked us to do as I recall it, but I think that approach makes more sense.
