<p class="MsoNormal">Please take the survey below and encourage other colleagues who might have strong opinion about it. I know some of you do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A colleague is looking for feedback on ARIA live regions that will help apply to a new standard that will hopefully help to address some gaps live regions currently have. If you have worked with these before and have opinions – good or
bad – I’m sure it’d be very helpful for Microsoft to know! Similarly, if you know anyone that might have some thoughts, please do forward on to them!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is an open collaboration between the two companies, despite it seeming “proprietary” with the way it’s worded. The hope is to come up with something (or at least start working on that Thing) that will work better for everyone in the
end. <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">🤘</span> (And will hopefully become an open standard, as well.)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi all, the Google Chrome team is working together with Microsoft to try to create a new standard currently called ariaNotify, which we hope will solve some of the issues with ARIA live regions. We realized it
would be best to first get user and developer feedback on use cases, pain points, etc. so that we solve the actual problems out there. If you love or hate live regions, we want to hear from you! </span><o:p></o:p></p>
