Editor signoff is a problem ongoing 15:44:56 jb: Three main discussion points ... 15:45:17 jb: 1.) Messaging; 2) Updated Pub; 3.) Process Improvements 15:45:53 jb: Janina and I flagged several process items to discuss; some we had to go into detail so didn't get to everything 15:46:12 jb: Most focus went on timing on decisions, ... 15:46:39 jb: Need for coordination discussions, noting that we had requested and been denied such 15:47:11 jb: Clarifications of issues before they survey, perhaps discussions with chairs before survey 15:47:23 jb: With respect to working with the editor, nothing specific sorted out 15:47:38 jb: There are things I want to look at in that, and I invite everyone to flag and help 15:47:51 rs: an example, in the case of canvas ... 15:48:07 rs: we put in a cp; Ian countered; OK so far, though Ian always waits to last minute 15:48:23 rs: Chairs reviewed and reached a decision ... 15:48:45 +1 15:48:53 (+1 to Rich's comment) 15:48:55 rs: Editor came back saying "he couldn't make those changes in good conscious." How is that allowed? 15:49:31 jb: That's exactly the kind of thing I want to track much more carefully, though I don't want to spend much time on specific examples just now 15:49:41 jb: Please send such to me, Michael, and Janina 15:50:02 jb: We would be happy to have a specific list of such things 15:51:58 jb: Two more things to flag ... Both relevant to our next steps 15:52:40 jb: Part of the rationale for LC is that external reviews might help with many things including a11y support. I challenged that because the feedback is not likely to be as technical as they tend to ask for 15:53:06 jb: Nevertheless, we need to encourage feedback, but ask for substantive feedback, e.g. use cases; technical responses 15:54:15 jb: Second, we need to make sure our cp's are strong and well formulated 15:54:49 jb: While this assessment may be heavily compromised by the extreme delay between recommendation and decision, this should nevertheless be a focus for us 15:55:06 +q 15:55:11 jb: We may have the opportunity for additional review and perhaps help on this 15:55:15 ack r 15:55:20 jb: Do we want to hold off to make our cps stronger? 15:55:47 jf: Curious of offers for additional help on preparing cp's. Specific names? Can we approach with current work? 15:56:16 jb: Can't give name now, though have at least one name already, and will be chatting probably Tuesday with them 15:56:52 jb: It was noted that there a number of large corporate W3C members who won't be able to use HTML 5 until a11y is properly addressed 15:57:43 jb: So, we may want to take a few weeks to scrub up our CP's, even once we've consensed, just to tighten them and allow for pre-consult 15:58:14 jb: Note: Chairs were strong that anything they offered to consult with us, would be generally available to others in the WG 15:58:22 jb: My view is that it would help all around 15:58:31 rs: What about not understanding how things work? 15:58:52 jb: We discussed how we shouldn't need to guess what they understand, and don't about how a11y works in html 15:59:18 jb: Tim was strong in encouraging better use of available skills, etc 15:59:53 jb: Any more questions about this mtg in Bilbao? 16:00:01 s/Tim was strong in encouraging better use of available skills/Tim spoke about the importance of relying on expertise in the W3C environment/ 16:00:04 -??P4 16:00:19 zakim, next item 16:00:19 I see a speaker queue remaining and respectfully decline to close this agendum, janina 16:00:26 q? 16:00:31 ack jf 16:00:34 q? 16:00:41 zakim, next item 16:00:41 agendum 12.
