Rule review process

<maryjojm> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTPAGETITLE/results

maryjo: 2 surveys from maryjo and kathy
... agenda item 2 taken up first

Go over "Page has a title" rule review survey results

maryjo: look at survey results, both of us answered positively on everything
... for the 2 responses, it's publish as is
... need other responses, so need to extend survey
... due date by a few days

wilco: extend to next Thursday
... another can be opened for xml lang match

<Wilco> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/issues/417

kathy: Trusted Tester implementation added, all results were as expected

shadi: to maryjo, some of your responses were I don't know, should we review?

maryjo: no I don't knows on this survey

shadi: sorry, I misread the results. ok, great 2 people agree

maryjo: we'll keep it open for another week to get more responses
... maybe it'll be our first rule published

Rule review process

wilco: yesterday, an editorial was made to page title rule
... a note from expectation 1 was removed because it was a duplicate

maryjo: that sounds reasonable

<maryjojm> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/418

shadi: I put editorial suggestions in the pull request. I hope they are editorial

<maryjojm> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/418/commits/b279f4e375ced3aa703b62eb37121cfc73bad269

maryjo: that link is your updates

shadi: there was heavy rewording in intro. I tried not to change any meaning.
... trying to be clearer. just suggestions.
... "propose" and "submitted" were used interchangeably
... tried to use "submit" more consistently. rule provider "submits" and task force "proposes"

wilco and maryjo: like this change

<Zakim> Wilco, you wanted to talk about "individual rule providers"

wilco: original draft only mentions "organizations". not sure to consider individuals as rule providers
... individual doesn't have a review process to get to acceptable quality

shadi: in the past, individuals have participated without an organization to back them
... an "entity"?

maryjo: "group" is fine. "entity" could be a single person

wilco: "organizations" or "groups"
... leave it for now and see if it works

shadi: licensing: cannot have a rule published by W3C and owned by other
... whomever contributes the rule, sign an agreement: if W3C publishes, it must be royalty free so others can use it
... W3C has its own licensing
... once group accepts rule, rule provider must submit a license agreement so content is under W3C ownershop so rule can be updated
... when a fork of the rule made by W3C is necessary

kasper: owner of copyright can grant permissions

<shadi> https://www.w3.org/2004/10/27-testcases.html

shadi: W3C would work similar to above link

wilco: need a clear W3C license for submissions
... include it in screening
... who in community group can sign that agreement?

shadi: work of community group has an open license

wilco: so anyone can sign it?

shadi: yes but will double check

wilco: the person who submits the rule has to have copyright or license?

kasper: only the copyright holder can grant a copyright license, which is what W3C requires
... could be the author or organization rep

shadi: for the task force, it is W3C is the license owner

<shadi> https://www.w3.org/community/about/agreements/cla/

shadi: W3C contributor license agreement link
... under 2: agreement grants a license to W3C for work. no patent of that work.

wilco: thought license was different

shadi: W3C has several licenses, community group license is very open

wilco: so W3C holds license for ACT-R work

shadi: license allows a submitter to just submit a rule, or first need to check if a submitter can submit the rule for the organization

kasper: definition of "you" and "your" at the bottom, signee can grant permission to anyone/anywhere

shadi: in this case, it to W3C

wilco: asking for license is still correct, what's the current license
... second part, how to determine if submitter can submit the rule on behalf of organization
... either AG member, under a license that allows it

shadi: or a non-member will need additional checking

wilco: change needed to proposal?

maryjo: is it needed in the survey of the rule?

wilco: submission requires license info
... I can add that to screening section, but not needed in survey
... good topic for next week

maryjo: topic: add licensing to screening section

wilco: and format. template and pull request would be good

<maryjojm> What format we want the submission in - a pull request using the template, probably
