"I suppose this is late in the game now, but I think a good step by
step presentation on the accessibility stack would be helpful for many
of us in the software/web group. How does MSAA or UI,
accessibility-API, etc all fit together currently, and where these
interlocking layers of accessibility may be going might be helpful.
Would anyone like to set up a 2 or 3 member group to pull together
something like this for a future meeting?"

We have a burgeoning list of topics for presentation at TEITAC
plenaries, all of which are worthy. But I'm wondering if, given the
scarcity and infrequency of face-to-face, it wouldn't be better to
create an archivable webcast instead. That way, immediately interested
attendees could participate and others would have a rich resource for
future reference.
