We reached out to all TF facilitators to get their view, which were most ready 16:14:28 ... looked at those and brought in PRs from that. 16:14:50 Laura: This one isn't associated with any TF. It would benefit from outside feedback. 16:15:03 +1 for taking orphan SC in 16:15:05 It would benefit from additional outside feedback regarding vestibular disability research. And implications for other disabilities. 16:15:06 Agenda? 16:15:13 The SC is not sponsored by Task Force so has automatically been left out. 16:15:17 AWK: I recognize that puts it at a disadvantage, but I want to emphasise that we'll be doing additional reviews 16:15:26 ... this is the first, but there will be more. 16:15:53 When? 16:16:43 CR ETA by Jan 2018 16:16:55 PR April 2018 16:17:00 REC June 2018 16:17:06 q+ 16:17:07 https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/project 16:17:20 ack mi 16:17:27 ack gow 16:18:16 q+ 16:19:11 ack da 16:19:45 sure 16:19:52 yes 16:19:56 Scribe: Detlev 16:20:31 David: suggests to include the one additional SC proposed by Alastair 16:20:57 Wilco_ has joined #ag 16:21:29 Andrew: has included changes about SC that required user testing (plain language) 16:21:38 OK go 16:22:01 AWK: Did people have any thoughts or questions about user testing 16:22:18 q+ 16:22:24 Lisa: I'm not sure why it's an advantage to do that.

I think we should take the WG seriously that they think enlargement without wrapping is accessibility support 16:28:01 ...

But I found out yesterday, it was in the survey, I couldn't possibly read every other response. I didn't know of the draft before 16:47:03 I had the same problem Lisa! 16:47:24 ... some things that were tagged high priority were excluded. The result is, two mature high priority were not included. And one had old wording 16:47:48 ... Can we use the new wording? 16:48:09 AWK: let's deal with this first, then the other 2 16:48:54 Lisa: I think the language SC is easy, we have better wording now. Less controvertial, smaller scope, etc 16:49:31 ... it is in the survey. Added the extra definition and the exception 16:50:25 MC: I got that wrong in my branch, I wanted to check with you on that. 16:50:37 ... I have a branch that has it. I'll try to fix it with this instruction 16:50:54 Q+ 16:51:16 I thought we had agreed to take out 2aLSO ON CONTROLS2 IN pLAIN LANGUAGE 8MINIMUM9 16:51:57 @detlev, controls is no longer there 16:52:07 AWK: Michal has a PR, it still falls under not full consensus, but it seems reasonable to update. 16:52:09 I thought we had agreed to take out "Also on controls" 16:52:31 s/Michal/Michael 16:53:16 JF: I'm not clear what we're voting on. I'm concerned. Are we going to get to everything? 16:53:26 AWK: This is the highest priority item today 16:53:42 ... I'm hoping we can get through lisa's issues 16:54:11 MC: I've updated the proposed issue, should I merge? 16:55:02 AWK: Adjusted where the exception was, added a definition 16:55:28 +q 16:55:48 ack j 16:55:53 +1 - thanks MC for editing on the fly 16:55:53 ack m 16:56:15 Marc: Since this is an international document, should there be a reference to i18n 16:56:18 Q+ 16:56:33 Lisa: It is in the exceptions, but it had user testing. 16:56:41 "In languages where present tense and active voice do not exist, or are not clearer in the language of the content, use the tense and the voice that are clearest for the content." 16:57:18 MC: I've restored all the exceptions, user testing is removed, but everything is back 16:58:13 +1 to Andrew 16:58:15 ack me 16:58:19 AWK: This exception speaks to one aspect, there is more work to do before we have consensus. Additional exceptions may be needed 16:58:24 +1 (this is just a starting point) 16:59:00 +1 to Lisa's point 16:59:00 q? 16:59:08 Lisa: There are issues with every SC that hasn't gone through. We shouldn't try to go through these issues on this call 16:59:11 we are getting bogged down in the weeds. 16:59:14 +1 to Lisa 16:59:20 ... there has been a lot of consideration for non-european languages 16:59:37 ... we don't want to delve into more things. We won't finish the conversation. 16:59:59 AWK: We need to get through the comments 17:00:38 JF: I think this SC will need a lot of discussion 17:01:00 ... I want to be sure that just because it is in the FPWD today, doesn't mean it will be here a year from now 17:01:49 Lisa: There are two SCs that were more mature. There was support customization minimum 17:02:07 s/customization/personalization 17:02:10 q+ 17:02:29 ... it is a much smaller scope. We took out the second half of the SC. 17:03:07 ... We feel strongly this should be in the draft. It also relates to a hackathon at CSUN 17:03:29 AWK: We wouldn't suggest people do active development based on any of these 17:03:37 Lisa: The more time people have, the better 17:04:14 q+ 17:04:32 q- 17:04:36 ... There was one that got rejected, this one is much smaller now. It just hadn't been looked at, Michael wasn't aware there was new wording 17:04:44 q- 17:05:05 AWK: I would like to move forward, noted, support personalization, and managable blocks, we'll bring it up at the end 17:05:31 MC: I didn't think it was ready because I was looking at an older version. We could include them 17:06:05 q+ 17:06:52 AWK: Green says new, the other says proposed. 17:07:01 q- 17:07:23 MC: I would argue that color isn't the only way to convey information. 17:07:27 JF: ok 17:07:51 MC: I had substantial editorial comments 17:07:55 q? 17:08:44 AWK: These look editorial. hyphens, spacing, glosary links. What are the ones that you feel might be on the edge? 17:09:20 MC: Added a definition for orientation. Also added links to some CSS Specs, made them normative references 17:09:46 ... many of the definitions were put into the format of WCAG 2 17:09:57 ... I tried to not lose content when doing it 17:10:37 +1 17:10:42 AWK: This seems okay to me, what do others think? 17:10:43 +1 to MC's changes 17:10:44 +1 17:10:46 +1 17:10:46 +1 with these changes from MC https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/pull/147/files 17:10:47 +1 17:10:47 +1 17:10:51 +1 for MC changes 17:10:51 +1 17:10:53 +1 17:10:53 +1 17:10:54 +1 17:10:56 +1 17:11:08 shwetank has joined #ag 17:11:21 AWK: Any objections?

Framing will be key I think 17:13:26 MC: I've got a draft announcement, They are under review from Judy & Shawn, I can have them available to the group in 2 days 17:13:40 q+ 17:13:42 AWK: We should include that we are looking for feedback 17:14:29 MelanieP has joined #ag 17:14:30 +20 17:14:30 BB: Michael is doing a whole bunch of work, I want Michael to know we've got his back if there is a problem 17:14:34 +1 to Bruce 17:15:20 MC: My main worry is will we get very difficult feedback. I think the introduction help, and the announcements should do so aswell. 17:15:47 ack wa 17:15:50 ack b 17:15:50 bruce_bailey, you wanted to ask if we have covered MC 17:17:00 AWK: Comments from Mike, questioning some of the SC language, the route of the draft.

This is counterproductive 17:37:31 +1 to having the text 17:37:51 I'm OK with the changes 17:38:42 SR: Some comments were editorial. Most substantial is commin input error definition 17:38:58 ... conflicting normative and conformative 17:39:40 AWK: You are using informative to make a normative definition. Reasonable to add a comment 17:40:18 MC: added this in 17:40:40 Kim: We're good, everything addressed 17:41:06 AWK: What hasn't been addressed are Lisa's changes, and comments from Laura about animations from interactive 17:41:35 q+ 17:41:39 +1 to add them in despite concerns 17:41:44 MC: I think they are as good as the others, if the group approves they can merge in 17:43:02 ... When I went through the list for COGA, managable blocks was not good enough. But it has been updated, it was hard to find. 17:43:13 ... the text that was there meets the bar 17:43:23 ... If I had seen that text it would be on the list. 17:43:40 ack s 17:44:04 WCAG 2.0 matured a process that began with 1.0.
