The scope for the #W3CWorkshop includes alignment between several relevant efforts in this space:
#WebAuthn https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/997371997620506624

Friday this week (Nov 16 🗓️) is the last day to apply to participate to the @w3c workshop on Strong #Authentication and #Identity https://www.w3.org/Security/strong-authentication-and-identity-workshop/cfp.html

Verifiable Credentials - the work from the Verifiable Claims Working Group aims at a providing mechanism to express credentials such as driver's licenses or university degrees on the Web in a way that is secure, privacy respecting, and machine verifiable https://w3c.github.io/vc-data-model/

Decentralized identifiers aims at building identifiers without central authority - a key component of so called "self-sovereign identity" #ssi, i.e. lifetime portable identity for any person, org or thing that doesn't depend on any centralized authority and can't be taken away

Most notably among its work items, the work on Decentralized Identifiers #DID is expected to be under the spotlight at the workshop https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/

In addition to this existing ongoing @w3c standardization efforts, it will also be looking at technologies under incubation in in the Credentials #CommunityGroup
https://www.w3.org/community/credentials/

The workshop itself will happen on Dec 10-11 in #Seattle 🇺🇸 hosted by @microsoft @AzureAD https://twitter.com/azuread/status/1050425095003369472

Of course, a lot of relevant work in this space happens in other organizations and communities: @ietf, @isostandards, @openidconnect, @oauth_2, @OASISopen with #SAML which we hope to see represented there

So, if you have something to contribute to this conversation, you just have a few days left (until Friday Nov 16 🗓️) to apply - don't miss it!

The @w3c ARIA Working Group has been rechartered for 3 more years, to continue its work on #WAI_ARIA and its mappings to native host languages https://www.w3.org/2018/11/aria-charter https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1060972362370351105

The more detailed roadmap https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/roadmap of the group includes:
* achieving parity with native host language semantics
* providing support for the #accessibility Object Model https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/959464445423517697

* developing and maintaining additional #WAI_ARIA features for authors and end users
* ensuring consistency in platform #accessibility API Mappings

No implementation yet, but @GoogleChromeDev has ongoing work on it https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=805271

For instance, an <hello-wolrd> component defined with
<template>Hello <span part=name>World</span></template>
could be styled in a page using the compenent with
hello-world::part(name) { color: red;}

#CSS Shadow Parts brings a new CSS selector (::part()) to enable stylistic customization of Web components: #WebComponents creators get to identify which part of the Shadow DOM they create can have their style customized in the hosting page.
