ACT rules sheet

<dmontalvo> Wilco: Element in sequential order has visible focus indicator is now in AGWG's plate, and they seem to agree with us

<dmontalvo> ... PR still in progress

<dmontalvo> Wilco: Scrollable elements, i need to follow up with comments

<dmontalvo> Daniel: Needs to work on examples, to make proposed failed inapplicable

<dmontalvo> Helen: Iframes needs review, Jean-Yves has addressed Wilco's comment

<dmontalvo> Trevor: Could not get to mine

<dmontalvo> Tom: Sent you a slack message, Wilco. Examples are pretty straight forward. I'd need to follow up with you Wilco for the definitions

Open ACT pull requests

<dmontalvo> Wilco: I need reviewers for the focus PR

<dmontalvo> Daniel: Helen, Daniel, and Trevor

<dmontalvo> Wilco: Text spacing rewrites #1923, many people assigned

<dmontalvo> Wilco: Secondary requirements PR has been approved

<dmontalvo> Kathy: Scrollable elements #1917

<dmontalvo> ... I accept all the suggestions

<dmontalvo> ... i am just not sure what to do with passed example 1

<dmontalvo> ... If anyone can make a suggestion as to what the wording should be, I would appreciate it

<dmontalvo> Kathy: For better explaining why this example is inapplicable

<dmontalvo> Wilco: I could take a look later, not right now

<dmontalvo> Wilco: #1916 Definition of essential

<dmontalvo> Trevor: I need to make some updates to it

<dmontalvo> Wilco: !1912

<dmontalvo> Daniel: Will get this back to how it was given feedback except for the definition updates

<dmontalvo> Tom: #1915 was a separate issue. From what you are stating this would not affect any other PR

<dmontalvo> ... Do I just update the branch?

<dmontalvo> Wilco: IF we want to send this for review, we need to send an email to the CG, but this is editorial, we'll merge this just now

<dmontalvo> Wilco: I will review iframes

Priority issues

<dmontalvo> Wilco: Link has non-empty name is waiting for an update to the spec

Annual review of approved rules (Due 29 September)

<dmontalvo> Wilco: Just checking on this assignment. Trevor found a thing on word-spacing

<dmontalvo> Trevor: I think Jean-Yves has rewritten a lot on the spacing rules

<dmontalvo> Wilco: Reminder for everyone that this is due next week

<dmontalvo> Wilco: If you do the regular survey, that is going to show up as it picks up your last answer

Secondary accessibility requirements

<Will_C> scribe: Will_c

Kathy: no new PR yet.

<kathy> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/531/files

Kathy: I put back a lot of outcome mapping, heading and text. Created subheading for conformance requirements. Added bit about 'not satisfied' cannot be if everything passes
... Secondary Reqs - added more details. Increased different scenarios
... Trying to fit rules where conditions are stricter than the rule.
... Needed to make things less conversational. Wanted clearer explanation of when a rule is secondary

Wilco: let's take a few minutes to read it over.

Chris: found a typo!

sticter-->stricter

group: deep in thought

Wil C: I am confused by the wording. I think 'and' might be better as 'if' or 'then'.

Wilco: This might lead to odd mappings. for instance what if I write SC for something completely unrelated
... this can lead to secondary requirements mapping to unrelated rules. or reads like it could

Kathy: The challenge is drawing the line between flexible and rigid.

Trevor: Maybe use applicability
... There has to be a test case this actually applies to

Wilco: The difficulty is a lack of scope in SC

Trevor: We say rules are only applicable when applicability is met. Doesn't that narrow it down?

Wilco: The problem isn't deciding a rule applies, it's deciding an SC applies
... We have two conditions - The situation doesn't require both to be true. Only one is true.
... Either failed outcome doesn't guarantee the SC is satisfied. I think this is items 2 and 3?
... line 219 - item a. Phrase maybe as "If any of the SC failed the target still needs testing" then for 220 (b) - when all outcomes are passed or inapplicable, the SC cannot be said to be satisfied without further testing

WIco: real life - even if it passes 4.5 to 1 we cannot say it passes 7 to 1 without further testing

Wilco: I think 220 needs further specification. "Further testing IS necessary"

Helen: With rules that test only parts of a rule, you can't say a SC completely passes or fails until all else is tested

Kathy: One of the reasons I kept 'satisfied' in was when we were doing keyboard track rule, you can't say it hasn't been satisfied, but you can say it has been satisfied in that rule

Wilco: "further testing needed" is tripping me up.
... For conformance requirements, we can add "further testing may be needed", but for secondary testing "further testing MUST be needed". you can't say AAA passes just because AA did

Chris: I wrote what you said in the zoom chat to try and achieve what you've written
... From chat- so for contrast at aaa, the accessibility requirement could be not satisfied due to the rule failing for not passing aaa contrast, however the requirement could be satisfied in that the requirement is aa (i.e. 4.5:1 vs. 3:1 vs. 7.1) and the rule passed if rule is written only to aa test parameters ? Or would the rule be further testing is needed to meet AAA and to pass? Sorry, just trying to parse all of this. I believe I'm un[CUT]

Kathy: The challenge I'm having is that there are several scenarios we are trying to cover here
... "Further testing is needed" is wishy-washy. But each time I try to adjust 219-200 to each scenario, the pool gets wider and deeper, and i
... Wonder if we can take some of this out so we can at least get some clarity

Wilco: we are at time
