Other Business

http://www.w3.org/QA/2012/02/openweb-weekly-27.html

paulc: this is nearly two weeks old, there may be a more recent one

re-open request for issue 31

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Feb/0139.html

paulc: we originally could not find new information, and the a11y task force is working on a revised version

janina: we have a strong interest in having this taken up again; the proposal has significantly been beefed up.
... unclear that this was dealt with appropriately originally
... we are now pointing to the original decision to justify the reopening

<paulc_> Revised request is in: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/movealt

janina: we should have a email to the chairs and wg by monday

Request to Reconsider Meta Generator Alt Exception

paulc: the chairs have reviewed this request and will be responding today

i18n WG position on Issue-172 "restore <rb> as an optional element"

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Feb/0103.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Feb/0197.html

paulc: chairs want to make it clear what the next status is

Change proposal reviews

issue-30?

<trackbot> ISSUE-30 -- Should HTML 5 include a longdesc attribute for images -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/30

paulc: we have having a dialog with Laura on 30

issue-170?

<trackbot> ISSUE-170 -- make URIs valid link relations -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/170

paulc: we are having dialogs with the authors of the proposals on 170

issue-134?

<trackbot> ISSUE-134 -- Provide tablist and tab states for menu and command elements respectively -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/134

paulc: the chairs are having dialogs with the various authors and the WG can expect more

janina: Thanks for 134, I am concerned about recent developments around longdesc, this is not just Laura's proposal but a TaskForce backed proposal
... we are disappointed that a split off happened based on ARIA, it would have been helpful to have been coordinating that more closely

paulc: janina is repeating judy's concerns about issue 204
... the feedback on 30 was to put the material relevant to the change proposal in the proposal itself

judy: there appears to have been changes in the advice over time over this
... in the past, we were advised to put in links; perhaps we could get more uniform guidance?

paulc: the underlying principle is to help the CP authors to make their case as possible; in this case we found some arguments that we thought the author could use to make their proposal stronger; if the authors don't wish to make their proposal stronger, that's their choice.

judy: I'm hearing that you prefer all of the text to be a single page?

paulc: we review each on their merits, and in this case we thought this particular proposal would be improved by making this specific text into the base text.
... any other business to raise?

Chair and Scribe for next meeting

paulc: Maciej likely will be the chair

glenn: I can scribe
