Good standing

jo: first off, good standing... for this charter, we'll be more strict about maintaining records on good standing... wanted to make sure everyone was aware of that...
... things like, if you are a member of the group, you need to answer to the surveys, come to teleconferences, etc... in the last charter, we ended up with lots of regrets all the time
... any comments about that?

Magnus: i was a bit surprising to see how many were in bad standing in the group... curious about how they got bad standing?

<dom> Current view of the group

jo: i think it was the crossover from the old charter to the new charter

dom: not quite sure where the bad standing stats come from... i think we should reset the flags and wait for us to define rules. i'll clean up the list

jo: anything else on good standing?

<dom> [everybody is back in good standing for the time being]

CT Task force

jo: reports from taskforces... from the content transformation group: we're still looking for a leader of the group... a new draft of the document should appear shortly (today/tomorrow)

<jo> CT Draft

checker TF

jo: on to checker... sean is not here, so very briefly: a number of bugs have been worked through, work continuing... target of january for beta release

mobileOK Pro poll

<jo> Poll

<dom> results

jo: according to the mobile OK pro poll, the answer is a fairly solid "yes"... since kai and archer are not on the call, there's not much we can say except that assuming we can find someone to act as leader, it looks like it is going ahead
... let's put it on hold until the next time kai is on the call to see if he wants to lead the TF
... has anyone had a chance to look at the accessibility document?

Accessility doc

<jo> Document

chaals: yes, i've sent some more comments, and think that it is moving ahead steadily

<dom> Current latest version, dated Nov 25

jo: my comment is that i'm not quite sure whether the target of the document is clearly focused. it seems to be that it could be about a number of things and right now it's about a mixture of those things

chaals: i have a similar concern, i think it needs to be clearer about who it's for. i think there are some things being fixed up that will help, but i think there is work to do.
... i think it's a big chunk of work, but don't think there is need for concern about the timeline, we raise issues and move forward

jo: ok anything else? not sure where Alan is...
... ok, any other business?

republication of mobileOK CR

dom: i found a small but annoying bug in the mobile OK spec: useragent string defined by the spec is not the one we had decided on a few months ago.
... given that websites are likely to fairly strictly match against the string, while the error is minor, it is a fairly serious bug. so we are going to publish a new version tomorrow with a fix

jo: ok thanks dom, so everyone make sure you are using the right string
