Hi everyone, my name is Chiara De Martin and I'm a web accessibility analyst at Fondazione LIA, an italian foundation that manages the italian accessible ebooks cataloques and works in the field of digital accessibility in general. I've joint this WG because I'm curious and interested in overlays, however I've not been able to join the calls so far (unfortunately the time is not good for me). Hope I'll be able to join in the future!

Hello all, I'm generally known as chaals (formally known as charles nevile). I've been a staff member of WAI (late 90s / early 00s) and have worked on teaching and promoting accesssibility, and in developing specific ideas like accessibility for SVG, the accessibility information that schema.org can describe, and before that initial work on things that are now ARIA and the proposed new WAI-Adapt work. My primary responsibility is standards in general, not specifically focused on accessibility. I now work for ConsenSys, who second me in large part to the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance as the Technical Programs Director. Meaning my day job is to make standards processes work.
