Did the accessibility task force discuss how the chartered work of this group
would create more accessible experiences?

One thing to note about this charter is that we say "This group is chartered
to standardize programming interfaces; not user interfaces.” So when
you say “present an interface that is accessible” do you mean “a user
interface” ? I want to be sure that statements in the charter are self-consistent.

If that group exists when we launch this one, we can make that change. Until then,
I think we should stay with our current inclusive verbiage:
  "Protocols and Formats Working Group (and successor)”
