## Meetings and Communication

The PDF-AAM Task Force conducts its work using a variety of synchronous and asynchronous tools.

- Teleconferences of the Working Group and its task forces (also see [meeting minutes](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/task-forces/pdf-aam/minutes));
- Face to face meetings;
- [Email lists](#mailing-lists);
- IRC discussion on the [#pdf-aam](irc://irc.w3.org/pdf-aam) IRC channel, used largely for minute-taking;
- [PDF-AAM source repository issue tracker](https://github.com/w3c/pdf-aam/issues).
- [ARIA specifications repository](https://github.com/w3c/aria);
- [Web-Based Surveys (WBS)](https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/159734/);

These tools are used by participants of the Task Force. For ways non-participants can contribute, see [how to contribute to the Working Group and file comments](/about/groups/ariawg/contribute/).

### Teleconferences

The PDF-AAM Task Force meets the third Wednesday of the month, 1:00 - 1:30 PM Eastern Time. For more details, see [PDF-AAM Calendar](https://www.w3.org/groups/tf/pdf-aam/calendar).

### Meeting Minutes

[Minutes from previous meetings](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/task-forces/pdf-aam/minutes) are available.

### Mailing Lists

The PDF-AAM Task Force uses the [email protected] mailing list ([mailing list archives](http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pdf-aam/)) for email discussion. Participants are automatically added to the mailing list when they become a participant of the Task Force.

## Current Work

The [Editors Draft](https://w3c.github.io/pdf-aam/) is expected to contain current PDF Accessibility API mappings.

## Publications

The PDF-AAM Task Force is primarily developing [PDF-AAM](https://w3c.github.io/pdf-aam/). See also the [PDF-AAM Task Force GitHub repository](https://github.com/w3c/pdf-aam/).

## Status

The PDF-AAM Task Force Work Statement was [approved on [dd mm yyyy]](CFC_or_minutes_pointer) and is now active. The [Task Force home page](/about/groups/task-forces/pdf-aam/) contains information about the operation and resources of the group.

## Objective

The mission of the PDF-AAM Task Force is to specify how user agents should map accessibility semantics within the Portable Document format specification. This Task Force provides a focused forum for this work while the Working Group continues its work on ARIA development.

## Scope of Work

The PDF-AAM Task Force will produce a W3C Technical Report [PDF-AAM](https://w3c.github.io/pdf-aam/), specifying accessibility API mappings for PDF, based on the [Core-AAM](https://www.w3.org/TR/core-aam-1.2/) and [HTML-AAM](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam/) specifications.

## Approach

The group will incorporte and extend existing work from the PDF/UA Processor LWG into a W3C Technical Report, expected to reach the Recommendation Track according to the [W3C Process](https://www.w3.org/policies/process/).

## Communication

PDF-AAM Task Force communications and discussions are visible to the public. The [task force home page](/about/groups/task-forces/pdf-aam/) details communication mechanisms in use. The task force will:

- Support synchronous (e.g., teleconferences, face-to-face meetings) and asynchronous (e.g., mailing list discussions, issue trackers, wiki, surveys, etc.) methods of communication;
- Use the procedures of the [ARIA Working Group Decision Policy](/about/groups/ariawg/decision-policy/) to make decisions;
- Provide updates and feedback to ARIA Working Group teleconferences, as appropriate. These liaisons are primarily the responsibility of the PDF-AAM Task Force Facilitators;
- Maintain information resulting from its activities (deliverables, participants, face-to-face meetings, teleconferences, etc.) on the [PDF-AAM Task Force home page](/about/groups/task-forces/practices/).

## Participation

Any participant in the ARIA Working Group may participate in the PDF-AAM Task Force. Participants should expect to dedicate 2 to 4 hours per week for PDF-AAM Task Force work, which is considered part of the overall work commitment to the ARIA Working Group:

- Remain current on the PDF-AAM Task Force mailing list and respond to postings in a timely manner;
- Provide feedback to editors of specifications via email or by filing bugs;
- Participate in PDF-AAM Task Force teleconferences, or send regrets to the PDF-AAM Task Force mailing list.

If you are interested in becoming a participant of the PDF-AAM Task Force or have any questions regarding its work, contact the task force facilitators.

## Facilitation

Staff contact from the ARIA Working Group oversees attention to W3C Process with respect to the chartered requirements of the Working Group. The Facilitators set agenda, lead meetings, determine consensus, and are the primary liaison to the Working Group.

- **Facilitators:** Duff Johnson, Valerie Young
- **Staff Contact:** [Daniel Montalvo](https://www.w3.org/staff/#dmontalvo)
