Extension document comment survey (https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/Ext_req_comments/)

<david_000> +1

JOC: Extensions being optional has caused some controversy.

<adam_solomon> +1

JOC: Reads proposed replcement form the survey.

<yatil> +1

<Kathy> +1

JOC: it removes “optoional”.

Adam: Is there a risk that people may be confused and think extensions are required?

JOC: Maybe.
... we need to review verbiage. Recent twitter storm.

Mike: When talk about extensions and tightening them is it a requirement or optional?
... depends on intention.

JOC: Indended as a modular bridging technology.

<jon_avila> +1 to James and Adam

James: Risk of removing “optional” with policy makers.

JOC: Potentially an overhead.

David: explains history from 2014.

<Srinivasu> }Srini

<Srinivasu> +Srini

David: Twitterstorm with “optional” versus 2.1. Doesn’t think it will solve the complete twitterstorm.

<Srinivasu> Though we don't say it's NOT optional, but somewhere we may need to clarify it's required or optional... Else people keep asking.

JOC: People want WCAG 3. But we work in a deliberate way.
... More food for thought.

RESOLUTION: Leave open.

JOC: Asks MichaelC opinion

MichaelC: Can live with dropping it.

Kathy: Dropping the word doesn’t make it required.

<david_000> +1

Kathy: doesn’t disagree with anyone.

<jon_avila> I'd like to see some formal comments rather than just conjecture on twitter

Kathy: How we label the extensions may be the problem.
... who are your audiences an who are we trying to reach?

JOC: This is the draft.

<Srinivasu> I'm OK if we want extensions to be optional but there is someway we need to tell community that extensions are in addition to WCAG and they are really needed to consider. if not all, some of them are sort of required.

JOC: What is going to be the driver for people to adopt the extensions?

<Srinivasu> Reason I am a bit worried about "optional" is if we say optional, folks don't use it to most... then all the work being done by task forces may not get enough value.

Adam: Not against removing word “optional” if we have a replacement.
... needs to be documented.

David: The word optional isn’t the best word.
... would like to remove the word.

JOC: Happy to see the term removed and replaced with other nomenclature.

Adam: agree with David. Needs to be clearer.

<Joshue108> '"Extensions are stand alone standards modules that build on the existing requirements for WCAG 2.0, and extensions are designed to work in harmony with the WCAG 2.0 standard."

Adam: Extensions build on WCAG.

<david_000> https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-wcag2-ext-req-20160105/

<Joshue108> '"Extensions are stand alone standards modules that build on the existing requirements for WCAG 2.0, and extensions are designed to work in harmony with the WCAG 2.0 standard."

Adam: would work for him. Replace the word.

<david_000> It sets requirements for WCAG 2.0 extensions, which are modules that add accessibility guidance to the base of WCAG 2.0 for those who claim conformance to WCAG plus the extension..

<Joshue108> Mike suggests text - not mandatory but strongly recommended.

MichaelC: 2 instances of the word optional. Not worth the heartburn.
... we need to come up with wording.
... only worry about the abstract.

<Joshue108> "Extensions are standards modules that build on the existing requirements for WCAG 2.0, and extensions are designed to work in harmony with the WCAG 2.0 standard."

<Joshue108> and

<Joshue108> "It sets requirements for WCAG 2.0 extensions, modules that add accessibility guidance to the base of WCAG 2.0."

Mike: we need some kind of language regarding conformance.

JOC: Leave open for now.

<Joshue108> q

Survey (Items 3-5 only): https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/20161stSurvey/

<david_000> Extensions are standards modules that build on the existing requirements for WCAG 2.0, and extensions are designed to work in harmony with the WCAG 2.0. standard, for those who claim conformance to them.

<Joshue108> https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/SCR36

<Joshue108> SCR36: Providing a mechanism to allow users to display moving, scrolling, or auto-updating text in a static window or area

Jon: WE need to make sure we are focused.

<Joshue108> https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/SCR26

<Joshue108> SCR26: Inserting dynamic content into the Document Object Model immediately following its trigger element

James: Seems like busy work.

JOC: not seeing compelling reason to merge them.

Jon: We could improve situations more.
... Technique needs updating if to be kept separate. There are differences when there are one dialog on a page, or multiple dialog. Focus management need may vary depending on how the dialog is open. So this could describe those situations better.

RESOLUTION: Leave open.
