The  Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group  has published  Accessibility of Remote Meetings  as a Group Note. It is a companion to the W3C resource:  How to Make Your Presentations and Meetings Accessible to All . Remote meeting is an umbrella term used to describe real-time discussions or presentations held between two or more parties online. The issues faced by people with disabilities will vary depending on the implementation of accessibility requirements and current limitations of remote meeting software. While W3C has applicable guidance across several standards and Notes relating to real-time communication and XR, it is this level of complexity that this document endeavors to address.

  The  Decentralized Identifier Working Group  has published  Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0  as a W3C Recommendation. This document defines Decentralized identifiers (DIDs), a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID identifies any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) that the controller of the DID decides that it identifies. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject. Each DID document can express cryptographic material, verification methods, or services, which provide a set of mechanisms enabling a DID controller to prove control of the DID.

  As 60% of the world is now online, we want and need to reflect the diversity of the whole world as more people continue to access, use and create the web. We believe that more diversity means better representation, which leads to better and more inclusive design. More diversity also brings higher quality results. We are opening today the W3C  TPAC   Inclusion Fund & Honorarium Fellowships applications , until 31 July. Both offerings are designed for people from an under-represented group who wouldn’t be able to attend or meaningfully contribute to TPAC without financial support. We are grateful to this year’s sponsors  W3C, Coil, Microsoft, Siteimprove, Igalia and an anonymous donor . You can read more about these programs on the  TPAC 2022 registration page , and you can read our CEO Jeff Jaffe 2022 update on  diversity and inclusion at W3C .
