21:44:30 JF: thought mark suggested that we re-open existing bug 21:44:40 JS: is there disagreement to doing that? who can do it? 21:45:14 mark: whomever is best suited to crafting bug text that the editor is sympathetic too 21:45:21 -Eric 21:45:23 zakim, unmute me 21:45:23 silvia should no longer be muted 21:45:24 JB: perhaps Silvia could do that?

are we pretty happy with it? 21:47:03 Mark: regarding Clear Audio, should we link to the wiki page 21:47:03 zakim, mute me 21:47:03 silvia should now be muted 21:47:31 JS: we have discussed the status of that page in the past, but current status is unclear 21:48:40 +Eric 21:48:42 JB: have been wondering about this as well. the user reqs and tech reqs in this sub-group have been referenced widely 21:48:59 however this is a wiki, and anyone can make changes without our knowing it - so it is not stable 21:49:20 the preferable thing to do is to stabilize it, but the a11yTF don't have publication authorization 21:49:29 without going through the full HTML WG 21:49:43 so there are a number of different routes to follow 21:49:52 +q 21:49:59 JS: the other parent group is PF 21:50:20 JB: yes was formally set up as a joint TF 21:50:27 PF can work on this in public 21:50:34 ack JF 21:50:48 PF could possibly take this on 21:52:12 JS: question - would people mind if this was published by PF rather than HTML WG? 21:54:11 zakim, unmute me 21:54:11 silvia should no longer be muted 21:54:57 SP: not too concerned where it is published, PF could handle this, but if people want it to get through the HTML WG process as a tech report or something we could follow that prodess 21:55:07 believe that PF would be appropriate 21:55:07 zakim, mute me 21:55:07 silvia should now be muted 21:55:21 +1 to have this in PF (public) space 21:55:40 JS: any objections then?

22:01:42 JB: are we looking to do this on both user reqs and tech reqs? 22:02:04 my recollection was that we got more traction with the mapping exercise 22:02:14 believes there is a technical list 22:03:05 http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_Tech_Requirements <- this one? 22:03:06 JB: remembers a list of technical requirements as well as user requirements 22:03:54 SP: don't think we kept that document up to date 22:04:09 JB: OK, that sounds right, retract the suggestion 22:04:16 zakim, mute me 22:04:16 silvia should now be muted 22:04:36 ack jf 22:05:09 JF: what to do with the 3GPP issue? 22:05:22 Mark: questions are on the @trak kinds page 22:05:57 Questions from 3GPP 22:05:59 In [1] they ask: 22:06:00 whether our hope to recommend use of W3C ‘role’ names, in our specification, seems achievable and reasonable, in your opinion; 22:06:02 your thinking on the set of names; 22:06:03 your schedule for defining at least a stable initial set of names; 22:06:05 whether you will define a URN to identify the set you define. 22:07:01 JS: believes that a) yes, we can respond, likely in a few weeks, and that PF would provide the URN for referencing the list 22:07:40 zakim, unmute me 22:07:40 silvia should no longer be muted 22:07:48 JS: so responding here, formally on behalf of the group, likely falls to JF and JS 22:08:01 SP: just to note that the request for clarification came to the HTML WG 22:08:15 wonder if we need to pass it through that group first 22:08:53 SP: came via PLH - but think it should go through HTML WG 22:09:10 JB: if it is a liason query, then it would likley be through staff 22:09:19 Judy and PLH work together on those often 22:10:01 Mark: notes that the request was addressed to the a11yTF group, addressed to David singer 22:10:43 JB: David, PLH and I will be together next week and will walk this through to the end 22:11:08 correction: the 3GPP contact person is David Singer 22:11:10 JS: any other questions with @kind?

"Media Alt Technologies http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Alt_Technologies" taken up [from JF] 22:14:39 SP: have looked at alt technologies when video and audio are not playing 22:14:45 similar to no image display 22:15:03 so what do we do with the empty space in particular for people who cannot see the empty space 22:15:19 may also be a useful situation for people who may still want to know what audio and video is 22:15:30 ie; low bandwidth, deaf/blind, etc. 22:15:41 so that is the background that I have approached it from 22:16:06 another is, what if there are 20 videos on the page, when tabbing through we need an indication as to what these videos represent 22:16:17 which to a sighted user comes from the placeholder frame 22:16:26 -Sean 22:16:34 but for non-sighted needs a text alternative 22:16:40 +q 22:16:50 being careful not to use the term poster 22:17:24 SP: so that is the background, and the wiki page is linked here 22:17:39 + +44.844.800.aabb 22:17:40 saw that this could be a problem to solve 22:17:50 have discussed this with other developers and blind users 22:18:00 also needed to understand the alt technologies available 22:18:12 Sean again 22:18:21 as this is related to where we have gone in the past 22:18:23 zakim, aabb is Sean 22:18:23 +Sean; got it 22:18:45 SP: so I have identified 3 use cases 22:18:53 that I think needs to be catered for 22:19:04 but anything that is time-aligned is not pertinent here 22:19:15 as this has already been addressed via the track element 22:19:50 JS: so we have 2 tiypes of transcript, one that is time-stmped and one that is not 22:19:53 SP: yes 22:20:12 perhaps start with the @transcription proposal 22:20:28 a new attribute proposed has the use of linking to an off-page transcription file 22:20:46 use case is that we have a very long and detailed transcription, but too long to be cited on the page 22:21:28 this would be most useful for deaf/blind and/or low-bandwidth users 22:21:50 while talking with people at google, they have had this request for a long time 22:22:05 q+ 22:22:28 ie: non-timed-aligned text, currently YouTube strips time-alignment from text when they receive the request 22:23:05 SP: so we can either provide an "in the clear" link on the page, either visible or positioned off-page 22:23:20 or having the attribute 22:23:48 don't like the position off page solution, so would prefer to see it as a link in the video element 22:24:09 ack jf 22:25:46 ack: jan 22:25:55 ack jan 22:26:17 JS: agrees that a contextual menu would likely be the better solution 22:26:31 SP: yes, I think that this would be the most useful as well 22:26:52 JS: one question - if we call this transcription, what do we call the text file with the time-stamp 22:27:21 q+ 22:27:31 JS: we need to be very clear on how we name this 22:28:08 Mark: does it make any sense if the UA could strip the time-stamp data, could we repurpose this? 22:28:33 JB: the text, where-ever you pause, my be widely un-aligned with the media 22:28:56 we are dealing with the question of 'appropriateness' without to much analysis 22:29:55 q? 22:30:04 ack ma 22:30:08 Mark: the question is, can the entire timestamp text also fufill the need of the transcript - if the UA can strip the timestamping 22:30:17 q+ 22:30:29 SP: caption file only captures what is being spoken plus with a bit of sound-effects 22:30:42 but a transcript also captures what is happening on screen 22:31:01 transcript is more a combination of captions and audio description 22:31:32 q+ 22:31:33 ie: a caption file does not explain what is on screen - all you get is what the dialog is 22:32:15 it *could* be automatically be done by merging the caption and description file, but this sounds complex/complicated 22:32:41 JS: to my mind transcript is much closer to script in the classical theatrical use 22:32:55 it has both dialog and "stage" direction 22:33:06 but may not include descriptive audio text 22:33:23 SP: I think the author needs to determine what is appropriate 22:33:44 JS: I agree, what I am suggesting is that the transcript needs to be aligned to the running media 22:34:06 if it is not a caption file, or a descriptive audio/text file 22:34:30 SP: this can be done already, don't believe that this is a use-case that needs to be addressed here 22:34:41 JS: at the very least we need to disambiguate them 22:35:04 we need to give them clear names so that we can easily tell what is time aligned and what is not 22:35:16 q? 22:35:21 ack ja 22:36:13 mark: I believe that the question was well answered. It just seems that i would be useful if the author could write once and have the UA do the 'splitting apart' 22:36:32 SP: believes that this would be done on the server, not built into the browser 22:36:40 I didn't necessarily mean the *UA* would do the splitting 22:37:18 SP: YouTube calls their "timed transcript" their interactive transcript 22:37:43 q? 22:37:49 Eric: don't think that "interactive" is appropriate, because it may not in fact be interactive 22:37:52 ack ma 22:38:17 JS: any other ideas of names? 22:38:45 q+ 22:38:47 JB: would rather look at the different things on a page by definition, it might be easier to spot the differences and find a candidate name 22:39:09 think that these terms that these terms already may be considered "reserved" terms in certain circles 22:39:49 -Eric 22:40:05 we might consider to look at what was done with figcaption, so that it helps disambiguate the term 22:40:22 JS: perhaps we need to set the naming aside, and perhaps move on 22:40:36 ack sy 22:40:40 ack si 22:40:40 SP: wnated to ask Eric why he thinks it is not interactive 22:40:45 +Eric 22:41:18 SP: so are we in agreement that adding a new attribute is the best way forward? perhaps poll the group? 22:41:20 MikeSmith_ has joined #html-a11y 22:42:57 JF: is there anyone on the call opposed to introducing a new attribute mechanism to achieve this? 22:43:34 SP: Eric, if we provide a time-stamped transcript on the page why would you be opposed to calling it 'interactive' 22:43:55 Eric: because it may be that users could not actually 'interact' with the text 22:44:16 if that is going to be a requirement, then we need to discuss, but don't believe that it will be one 22:44:54 Eric: seems to me that time is what it's all about - I don't have a problem with this, but don't think this is a key issue at this time 22:45:25 JS: OK so we should drop the naming question for now. will add a section to the wiki page to foster more discusssion 22:45:35 q? 22:45:59 SP; another use-case is a short text alternative 22:46:16 another is one that you tap onto a video, and you want to know if you should hit the play button or not 22:46:29 for sighted users, this comes from looking at the image and the associated text 22:46:47 for a11y reasons we have to replace what is being seen on thta image to non-sighted users 22:46:54 so a textual alternative is required 22:47:10 Marco (Zehe) suggests that this needs to be short and succinct 22:47:24 q+ 22:47:35 so that when a non-sighted users tabs through the images, the text is short and succinct 22:47:58 looking at what might solve this problem I looked at the different options 22:48:26 marco suggested aria-label and they all seem to agree that it is the most useful here 22:48:33 JS: I think that marco is 50% correct 22:48:41 we need to treat the image as any other image 22:48:43 +q 22:49:19 we need both a short 'handle' as well as an ability to expose a longer description 22:50:03 ack ja 22:50:06 ack jf 22:50:28 -Sean 22:51:44 JF: talked with Victor Tsaran at yahoo! and he disagrees that aria-label is appropriate 22:51:59 problem is that label is for list and interactive content 22:52:19 +Sean 22:52:24 as well, with @alt if images are not supported the text renders on screen, where as aria-lable text is not shown on screen 22:52:30 -Eric 22:52:51 JS: Silvia, would you like me to ask PF to focus on this further 22:52:56 +Eric 22:53:02 SP: this is new, so we can do whatever we want 22:53:30 makes sense that we have one mechanism not 2, and believes we should be in sync with images 22:53:40 but not married to either option 22:54:14 but don't want an either/or scenario 22:54:23 it should be clear, and one solution 22:54:51 JS: believe that this would be an interesting use case discussion for WAI 22:55:07 we have a need to support i18n, and ARIA is the better way of doing that 22:57:15 JS: this is something useful to continue to discuss.
