- resolution: accept for L2 SC2: The natural language of each foreign passage or phrase in the content can be programmatically determined. Foreign passages or phrases are passages or phrases in a language that is different from the language of the surrounding text.

- 09:55:12 [Becky]

- 09:55:13 [Becky]
- 2. Graphical illustrations of concepts or processes that must be understood in order to use the content.
- 09:55:13 [Becky]

- 09:56:01 [Becky]
- resolution: do not accept proposed L3 SC 5 - For delivery units at the first or second level in a set of delivery units, text content can be read by adults with the reading ability expected for native speakers who have completed fewer than seven years of school. Include information in guidedoc as advisory.
- 09:56:40 [Becky]
- resolution: do not accept proposed L3 SC6: For delivery units below the second level in a set of delivery units, text content can be read by adults with the reading ability expected for native speakers who have completed fewer than nine years of school. Include information in guidedoc as advisory.
- 09:57:25 [Becky]
- resolution: do not accept proposal L3 SC7: current proposed SC7: Simplified graphical illustrations are available when text presents ideas or describes processes that users must understand in order to use the content.
- 09:57:48 [Becky]
- do not accept proposed L3 SC8: A spoken version of text content is available.
- 10:04:58 [Becky]

- 1. a text summary that requires reading ability no higher than primary education level.
- 10:05:00 [Becky]

- 10:05:00 [Becky]
- 3. A spoken version of the text content."

- 10:31:20 [wendy]
- resolution: not accept proposed L3SC2 "A mechanism is available for finding the correct pronunciation of any word whose pronunciation cannot be determined from context." based on the assumption that we will create a testable criterion to address language specific issues.
- 10:35:15 [Becky]
- resolution: accept proposed L3 SC 3 as, "Section titles are descriptive."
- 10:35:27 [Michael]
- would like to explore if these belongs in 2.4

- note: previous resolution replaces the old L3 SC2 text, "Section headings and link text are understandable when read by themselves or as a group (for example, in a screen reader's list of links or a table of contents). [V]" with the text "Section titles are descriptive."

- 13:18:52 [Michael]
- b. used technology features as defined in the specification."
- 13:22:25 [Michael]

- fyi: to create a flash product (and abide by the license agreement) - "d You agree that your Product must output SWF files that can playback without Errors in the latest versions of the Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, and Linux Macromedia Flash Players as listed at" therefore - it is part of the spec that you are "valid." so, can we just say, "well-formed XML-based languages and...
- 13:27:54 [wendy]
- ...follows spec for others..."
