Reminder to be sent out for commenting
<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to say need to communicate this is the only review period?
<shadi> http://www.w3.org/TR/accessibility-metrics-report/
<shawn> +1 to markel
<shawn> [ also people wait until deadline :-]
<yeliz> Are we expecting a lot of comments?
<shawn> saz: strong coorlation between how much work goes into soliciting review, and how many comments we get in
Shadi: People tend to wait to deadline; not
communicated that this is the last opportunity, did we reach the groups? More
efforts needed to get comments. Timing is also taff (vacation)
... 2 weeks extension for commenting, Reminding needed.
<yeliz> I also think there won't be many comments
Shadi: We should have more than two commenters
<yeliz> As it is research note
Shadi: it is also a question of the type of
comment (quality)
... Also the group members should comment. The more discussion the better the
quality
<Zakim> shawn, you wanted to suggest: 1 or 2 weeks extension. communicate last chance! RDWG solicit feedback from specific people.
<yeliz> Good idea
<yeliz> +1
Markel: How does this extension overlap with other activities?
e2r deadling Oct. 12
<markel> I would delay 1 week at most
<yeliz> +1
<Yehya> +1
Shadi: one week extension?
<silvia_> I agree: 1 week
<vivienne> okay with 1 week
+1
<christos> +1
<Justin_Brown> ok
Shadi: Are members willing to forward to experts in metrics and evaluation? Individual messages.
<vivienne> I'm willing to circulate to individuals
Markel: Some people in mind.
<silvia_> I've got a couple of people in mind, and I'm going to contact them
I will also contact some people (eAccess+)
<shadi> http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Distribution_Lists
Markel: Is it usual to postpone?
Shadi: With so little review, this is quite
usual. need to get well vetted. Depends if group is happy with the quality.
... But must not be endless!
Shadi: TC closed submission
<markel> 12 submissions is still a good number!
Shawn: 12 submissions, not some that were
expected, in process of assigning.
... Position papers were submitted - reviewers should take care what kind of
paper it is.
<shadi> http://www.openconf.com/demo/openconf5/review/review.php?pid=1
<yeliz> as far as I know, yes
Shadi: Can questions be changed?
Yeliz: Not in the configuration - you have to contact open conf people
Shadi: This is not a full version - local copy
<markel> The review form is the traditional one
Shadi: Guidance is sent sepperatly to reviewers. There are criteria but not a lot - main guidance to come from symposium chairs.
Yeliz: Simon knows openconf very well.
Markel: There must be a higher profiling opportunity allowing to define questions, criteria, ....
<shadi> http://www.openconf.com/demo/openconf5/chair/index.php?
Shadi: We did use it for the last time with the
same questions.
... for next two symposia we have it to run it this way.
Klaus: With this number of submissions it should be o.k.
