(Re 4.1.9) Is 4.1.9 actually Level A?: I ask because elsewhere the success criteria for a guideline are sorted according to Level, but here 4.1.9 (Level A) follows 4.1.8 (Level AA). Is this a temporary artifact that will be fixed when items are renumbered? Or is 4.1.9 miscategorized as A when it should be AA? (Priority: 3 Low) (Type: Clarify) 17:34:24 #71. (Re 4.1.9) Is overriding all UI keyboard commands too broad?: I'm concerned because I'm not sure that any browsers allow the user to override *all* of the platform's UI keyboard commands" (e.g. ALT to activate the menu bar, CTRL+O for open, CTRL+A for select all, Tab for sequential navigation, etc.). Is it possible that the current wording is unintentionally broad? (Priority: 1 High)... 17:34:25 ...(Type: Clarify) 17:34:27 This still needs to be addressed. 17:34:28 #72. (Re 4.1.9 **) "Platform" vs. "Operating Environment": In some places the document uses "platform" (e.g. 4.1.6) but in others users "operating environment" (e.g. 4.1.9) for what appears to be the same thing. Please consider normalizing the terminology. (Priority: 3 Low) (Type: Formatting) 17:34:30 #73. (Re 4.1.9 **) Define "override" keyboard shortcut bindings: 4.1.9, 4.1.10 and 4.1.11 require the user be able to "override" keyboard shortcuts, but don't define the term. 4.1.9 and 4.1.11 refer to "rebinding" and so requires the user to be able to assign new shortcuts that replace the default ones, whereas 4.1.10 does not mention this and so implies that the user only needs to be able... 17:34:35 ...to remove default shortcuts, but the ability to reassign or assign new shortcut keys is presumably left optional. For the goal of improved accessibility there are really three potential features: (a) the ability to delete existing shortcuts is useful when they conflict with shortcuts used by assistive technology; (b) the ability to reassign shortcuts for functions that already have them... 17:34:40 ...accomplishes that goal PLUS retains the ability of shortcuts to reduce the number of keystrokes and/or steps required to execute an operation; (c) the ability to assign new shortcuts to functions that don't have them by default accomplishes both of those goals PLUS allows the user to further reduce the number of keystrokes or steps they have to enter. One way of handling these diverse... 17:34:45 ...choices would be to make the first option be Level A, the second Level AA, and the third Level AAA. (Priority: 2 Medium) (Type: Clarify) 17:34:48 This still needs to be addressed. 17:34:50 #74. (Re 4.1.9 **) Normalize "keyboard shortcuts" vs. "keyboard shortcut bindings": 4.1.9 uses the term "keyboard shortcut binding" while 4.1.10 uses "keyboard shortcut". I assume they are meant to refer to the same thing, so the document should standardize on one phrasing. (Priority: 3 Low) (Type: Clarify) 17:35:22 Proposed: 4.1.9 Override of UI Keyboard Commands: The user can override any keyboard shortcut binding for the user agent user interface except for conventional bindings for the operating environment (e.g., for access to an open command). The rebinding options must include single-key and key-plus-modifier keys if available in the operating environment. This does not prohibit a user agent from supporting user override of conventional bindings for the operating pl 17:35:34 5 accept / 3 discuss 17:36:11 GL: not everything address - see above (especially #71) 17:36:19 JR: Should this be AA? It is P2 in UAAG 1.0. 17:36:29 JS: The last sentence is still not clear. It took me about 4 times through to understand what it means. recommend inserting before the sentence beginning "the rebinding options": 17:36:30 This does not prohibit the user agent from allowing user override of the conventional bindings. 17:36:47 scribe: Harper_Simon 17:36:57 scribeNick: sharper 17:37:08 rrsagent, make logs public 17:37:14 rrsagent, draft minutes 17:37:14 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2009/06/11-ua-minutes.html sharper 17:37:32 rrsagent, make logs public 17:37:52 rrsagent, draft minutes 17:37:52 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2009/06/11-ua-minutes.html sharper 17:38:20 chair: Allan_James 17:39:01 present: Allan_James, Harper_Simon, Spellman_Jeanne, Swan_Henny, Hakkinen_Mark, Patch_kim, Lowney_Greg 17:39:17 meeting: User Agent Working Group Telecon - 11 June 2009 17:40:01 rrsagent, draft minutes 17:40:01 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2009/06/11-ua-minutes.html sharper 17:44:13 JS: Specifics (of keyboard commands) should be included in the glossary - otherwise gets very confusing in guidelines. 17:45:55 GL: move details to glossary if clarify increased. 17:46:50 JA+KP: like JS proposal - GL: agrees 17:48:21 RESOLVED: GL: to work on 4.1.9 some more - JS to assist. 17:48:53 action: GL to work GL and JS to write a definition of Keyboard Command 17:48:54 Created ACTION-194 - Work GL and JS to write a definition of Keyboard Command [on Greg Lowney - due 2009-06-18]. 17:49:07 topic: Guideline 4.5 Configure and Store accessibility preference settings. 17:49:24 5 accept / 2 discuss / 1 neutral 17:49:34 JR: I'm a bit concerned by 4.5.1.

(Level AA) 17:58:10 KP-discuss: Accessible profiles sometimes take quite a bit of time to set. Making an accessible profile portable means you can access multiple computers more easily and more easily work on other people's computers. This is a basic in some jobs. Ease of access to a given computer is a showstopper in many situations. 17:58:14 The ISO version is Level 3 (AAA) 17:58:28 JA-Discuss: current rewrite of this - see #2 (4.5.4) above has this as AAA. 17:58:28 When this was originally written, the concept was - user creates a mysettings.profile in UAx, that file can be used on other UAx on other computers. But would not be required to work with UAy or any other UA. 17:58:28 The comment above, seems to indicate that the profile would/might work in all UA cross platform. HTML, CSS, and JS can hardly do that now. I agree that cross browser/platform profile usage is beyond our charter. Perhaps we need some language to limit the profile to individual UAs and perhaps on a given platform. 17:58:29 17:58:30 4.5.4 Accessibility Portable Profiles: Sets of preferences are stored as separate files (allowing them to be transmitted electronically). Note: These profiles may be usable only with the brand(?) of user agent that created it (Level AAA) 17:58:44 GL-change: 17:58:45 Per my comment #7 in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2009AprJun/0094.html, I suggest harmonizing with ISO 9241-171 by adopting their wording or a close equivalent. ISO says "8.2.6 Provide capability to use preference settings across locations [ANSI Level 3]: 17:58:46 Software should permit users to transfer their preference settings easily onto a compatible system.", and it provides a number of important accompanying notes and examples. 18:02:16 RESOLVED: JA to reword to more closely follow ISO - put on survey and take a vote. 18:02:56 action: JA to reword 4.5.4 Accessibility Portable Profiles: Sets of preferences are stored as separate files (allowing them to be transmitted electronically). to reflect ISO wording. 18:02:56 Created ACTION-195 - Reword 4.5.4 Accessibility Portable Profiles: Sets of preferences are stored as separate files (allowing them to be transmitted electronically). to reflect ISO wording.

(Level AA) to ISO wording. 18:27:11 Here is wording from ISO 9241-171: 18:27:16 8.2.5 Provide user-preference profiles 18:27:17 Software should enable users to create, save, edit and recall profiles of preference settings, including input 18:27:19 and output characteristics, without having to carry out any restart that would cause a change of state or data. 18:27:20 NOTE 1 For systems that provide access for multiple users, such as library systems, conversion back to a default 18:27:21 profile can be advisable. 18:27:24 NOTE 2 It is often useful to be able to access the preference settings over a network. Doing this in a secure way would 18:27:25 preserve privacy especially for people who are worried about revealing the fact that they have a disability. 18:27:26 NOTE 3 It is preferable to minimize the need to restart the system or application in order for changes in user interface 18:27:28 settings to become effective. 18:27:29 EXAMPLE 1 Platform software allows each user to save global settings for font size, sound volume, and pointercontrol 18:27:31 settings that apply everywhere on the system. 18:27:33 EXAMPLE 2 A software application allows users to configure and save settings for font size and style within a 18:27:35 particular window. 18:27:38 EXAMPLE 3 The profile for a public library system is modified for the needs of a current user but returns to default 18:27:39 values when that user is finished. 18:27:41 EXAMPLE 4 For a person completing an on-line process who has to make adjustments to 18:28:02 the accessibility feature to 18:28:04 reduce errors, restarting the operating system or the user agent would cause loss of work. 18:31:53 RESOLVED: NOT RESOLVED CONTINUE NEXT TIME... 18:32:03 zakim, agenda? 18:32:03 I see 5 items remaining on the agenda: 18:32:04 2. review 5/28 Meeting survey [from AllanJ] 18:32:05 3.
