GV: we could make a list of editor's notes to look at them on Friday to make sure that they are adequate

Survey for July 17th

<Andi> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUL172012/results

2.4.6 Headings and Labels

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUL172012/results#xq1

Note that in software user interfaces, heading and labels are used to describe blocks of text and controls respectively. In some cases it may be unclear whether a piece of fixed text is a heading or a label. But whether treated as a label or a heading, the requirement is the same: that if they are present they describe the topic or purpose of the thing(s) they are associated with.

In some cases it may be unclear whether a piece of static text is a heading or a label. But whether treated as a label or a heading, the requirement is the same: that if they are present they describe the topic or purpose of the item(s) they are associated with.

RESOLUTION: 2.4.6 Accepted as amended in the meeting

3.3.1 Error Identification

Andi: Next topic 4.1.1. Not ready yet.

Andi: has written proposal #4 based on Gregg's proposal and the survey comments

PK: has a question of some situations that may belong or not to 3.3.1

<trackbot> Created ACTION-40 - Work with Peter to draft example of input that falls outside the allowed range for 3.3.1 [on Gregg Vanderheiden - due 2012-07-24].

<korn> +1

+1

use of "interactive document" on 2.2.1

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUL172012/results#xq5

Andi: most are in favour of "electronic documents"
... prefers "interactive documents" but accepts "electronic documents" for this draft

GV: difficult to differentiate between "interactive" and "non-interactive" documents
... suggests adding a note "after consensus" so we don't forget about "interactive documents"

<Andi> ACTION: Andi to start discussion to revisit use of "electronic document" in 2.2.1 - used to be "interactive document" [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/07/17-wcag2ict-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-41 - Start discussion to revisit use of "electronic document" in 2.2.1 - used to be "interactive document" [on Andi Snow-Weaver - due 2012-07-24].

RESOLUTION: change "interactive document" to "electronic document" in 2.2.1

draft of introduction

https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/JUL172012/results#xq6

JB: goes in order through the comments in the survey

<MichaelC> close action-38

<trackbot> ACTION-38 Look at why e-mails are not getting attached to the actions closed

JB: Alex's proposal of "reinterpret" vs "apply"

AL: clarifies that "reinterpret" is for those cases where some SC may not really apply to non-web ICT

PK: reminds us that we have talked about changing the TF work statement. Suggests that we could ask WCAG WG for permission to use "reinterpret" after this draft

GV: trying to figure out what is the difference. We are in fact writing about "how to apply" WCAG

AL: "Apply" implies something that is straightforward. But our work hasn't been so straightforward. So he suggests "reinterpret" in those cases.

JB: sees no place where "interpret or reinterpret" could work in current text to replace "apply".
... Thinks that we look to another way to deal with this issue

PK: suggests writing that the work has not been straightforward instead of replacing "apply"

GV: agrees that AL has raised a valid point but we need to write that we had to "reinterpret" to explain how to "apply".

AL: wants us to calibrate our language to show that there are things that are problematic and based on what we can deliver now.

AH: Agrees with Alex. Would accept a paragraph explaining this.

<korn> Judy, what about this? "In many cases it was not straightforward to apply the WCAG SC language to software and electronic documents, and the task force had to interpret their intent &/or meaning in those contexts."

<alex_> we only talked about the 1st paragraph

GV: wants us to stay neutral

<Andi> How about "In many cases there are not direct <something> to web pages in software and electronic documents, and the task force had to interpret their intent &/or meaning in those contexts."

<greggvanderheiden> I think it would be better worded at "In some cases the task force had to interpret their intent &/or meaning in those contexts.

RESOLUTION: (Intro, ¶ 1) replace "the application" with "the interpretation and application"

<Andi> ACTION: Alex to work with Judy, Gregg, and Peter on proposing language in the introduction related to issue of "interpretation" [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/07/17-wcag2ict-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-42 - Work with Judy, Gregg, and Peter on proposing language in the introduction related to issue of "interpretation" [on Alex Li - due 2012-07-24].

JB: next comment

What about just: "It is intended to help organizations that wish to use WCAG 2.0 across all ICT that they develop, procure, and/or assess for accessibility."

<korn> +1 to offline

<greggvanderheiden> Suggest this is part of the same topic and action

JB: next comment on "all ICT"
... several agree to remove "all"

PK: after discussion agrees on removing "all" to lower expectations

<Judy> RESOLUTION: (Intro, � 1) remove "all" in "across all ICT"

JB: next on "user interface context" use in the introduction

GV: we should put new terms that we have but not word that we are not using

PK: on "software user interfaces" vs "software aspects of products". That is part of "editor's notes".

<Judy> RESOLVED: (last � ) remove "user interface context"

RESOLUTION: (last ¶ ) remove "user interface context"

JB: next comments from PK in the survey

PK: it is a problem of double interpretation of the sentence.

+1

<Judy> RESOLUTION: (Intro, � 2) Remove "As with WCAG 2.0"

<Judy> RESOLVED: (Intro, � 2) Drop first "specifically"

RESOLUTION: (Intro, ¶ 2) Drop first "specifically"

JB: next comment on whether or not WCAG should be applied to non-web ICT
... explains that this is based on our work statement

PK: agrees

JB: next comment by BB
... asks for clarification on BB comment

GV: explains that links will be to the future "editor's draft" of understanding

<Andi> RESOLUTION: modify link to Understanding WCAG 2.0 to point to the editors draft and change the wording to include "linking to"

JB: next comment from DM on having a bulleted list. Suggest not to to preserve consistency with the TF work statement.

David: OK

JB: next comment from Andi about clarifying that WCAG may not be enough.
... discussing about how to deal with these comments in preparation for draft publication

Andi: proposes a plan for having several surveys to process content in the draft to speed the process

GV: asks for clarification

Andi: suggest a first survey on SC that can be sent, then a second survey with the introduction
