SH: [Goes over peliminary details of F2F in November]
... Need to know which days members are able to attend, ASAP.

<shawn> scribe: alan

SH: [Repeats TP infor for people who joined call late]

SR: What happened about fees?

JB: W3C looking for sponsor, otherwise may have to charge fees.

AC: Maybe suggest a less costly venue.

JB: Hotel make it much easier for host to organise.
... Already organised for this year.
... Would like to rotate locations around world, but it is useful to be with other groups.
... Too late to influence venue this year, but we can take note of other considerations for our own meetings.
... Put other comments about venues on the form.

topic WCAG 2.0 comment responses

SH: WCAG WG replied to our comments of last year, now we need to reply to their replies.
... Missed AA's comments because survey was closed.
... Comments 1 to 6, we decided to accept as is.
... Comment #7. Message from Shadi this week about it.

SAZ: I said we can close comment as is, just wanted to record comment.

JB: Will produce an updated version.

SH: Comment #8
... Liam's message, but nothing since.

JB: Will ask Liam for clarification.

[Accept resolutions of 9, 10, 11]

SH: Comment 12, we said we wouldn't accept their resolution because revised text is still too difficult to understand.

JB: Wanted to make their definition of assistive technology more understandable. For now we decided just not to accept resolution.
... We would send a suggested definition, but although we could make it easier to understand, we couldn't write one that would be acceptable to WG.
... We should at least state _why_ we think their definition is difficult to understand.
... The WCAG WG doesn't seem to understand what's difficult about it.

SH: Maybe talk to the WG more later on.

JB: Because of their time constraints, would prefer now to just explain the problem.

<shawn> shawn notes for later: the word "assisitve technology" is used a lot at the top of the document without a link to the glossary

WD: It's the second bit where they talk about APIs, that seems to restrict the definition to APIs.

<shawn> definition: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#atdef

<shawn> definition: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#atdef

[Everyone looks at definition in WCAG 2.0 Glossary]

WD: the second point (2) says they always use APIs, is unnecessarily specific.

<hogudo> Hi, my name is Massimiliano Navacchia and i'm IWA/HWG Member nominated for this WG

JB: Can't see the relationship between first and second sentences.

<shawn> Hi, Massimiliano Navacchia. We're in the middle of a teleconference. I sent you an e-mail. I look forward to talking with you soon.

WD: Maybe should just say that part 2 shouldn't be part of the definition.

JB: Can say that if it is included as a note, should make it clear what the relationship is.

SR: I agree

[Lots of agreement]

WD: They've done a lot of work on core concept. But don't see the need for the other part.
... Seems like outdated WCAG 1.0 concept.
... POUR is necessary to allow AT to work.
... Suggest "Services that enhance peception ... of user interface"

<shawn> fyi, "Any item, piece of equipment, product, system or software, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. [For example, screen readers that read aloud Web pages for people who cannot see or read text, and voice input software and switches for people who cannot use a keyboard or mouse.]" - http://www.w3.org/WAI/glossary/basic.html#ta

<shawn> scribe: wayne

Help shawn, please make me the scribe.

<shawn> scribe: wayne

<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to say "service" doesn't seem right and to note 1. make it easy to understand, or 2. have a technical definition

Shawn: There are two reasons to have a definition. (1) What is an AT and (2) What makes it work for WCAG 20
... The term "service" stops me. It doesn't help with my concept of assistive technology.
... Suggested the legal, [followed by simple and direct examples without "services"].

Jack: What technical reqirement is meant by the word "service".

Doyle: Clarify why service doesn't work.

Group: Note 1 is not useful as stated

<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to suggest that the first note is something easy to understand, such as [For example, screen readers that read aloud Web pages for people who cannot see or read

Shawn: The first note needs to include something like "screen readers"... [something concrete and clear]

Andrew: in (1) of the definition remove the "eg's".

<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to take out NOte 3

Shawn: Comments 13-24 - Accept or Accept with Related Comments...

Group: OK
... 25 Accepted

<shawn> The short handles for the success criteria are very useful. We still suggest providing short handles for the guidelines as well.

WCAG 2.0

<Sylvie> Sylvie has read small parts of it

<Sylvie> I'll try to read it through for next week

Judy: Can you read the guidelines by friday

Wayne: Yes

The guidelines are good vacation reading.

Actually, that seems like a good test of robustness.

Sylvie: Clerification: We are reading WCAG 2.0 only. [Not Understanding or Quick Ref.]

<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to ask if survey with sections best way to collect input, versus email?

Doyle: First reaction is email, but survey on second thought.

Sylvie: How do we have a conversation with the survey.

<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to add pointer to list archive

Shawn: Put all information in the survey. Have email conversations and make a pointer to the email.

Sylvie: How do you do that?

<shawn> first page of EOWG e-mail archive: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/

Judy: Go to the email archives. Drill to message. OR Look to your own email back to you the name of the header is xarchive at with URI. Click on that URI it will take it to the email and campure the URI.

Group: Needs directions for referencing Survey.
