Mental Health: link available, May 10/June 10 on schedule. Rain will need the allocated time for demo, then end of June for redesign and discussion with Task Force.

<Lisa> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/coga/wiki/Subgroups

Note for all: Wiki pages can be edited when signed in (edit tab is available when signed in).

Jenny: Per her discussions with Shaun, they'd like to request to move April 24 update to a week later.

Confirmed that they will have update May 1 in an as-is state

Lisa: Images subgroup updates? Per Jenny, outline of work for sprint to be worked on to be done in the next week.

Kiki and Raine: Plans for pulling in feedback from community group? Per Kiki, examples have been gathered in a sheet (and can be shared if anonymized) and outputs from survey form (inside and outside of community group)

<Kiki> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uwHHy9JhRgqDfEsiHdb2ujliJBbh0D0KzZ89wi7Qd_E/edit#gid=0

Kiki: About 9 examples so far, Google Form may draw in more examples.

Lisa: Screenshots not available; the visuals from screenshots may help solidify what users are meaning.

<Kiki> Here is the form the members of the community group agreed to send out: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnB_0CZijBTVXe-NN9ChpUh5g9XPlK8ZYPij_-1JOrM5Ct_A/viewform

Rain: Community group might not provide any information if screenshots are asked for. Sometimes the login component is too hard, screenshots too hard, etc. The current descriptions provided may be best effort.

Kiki: Even with step-by-step documentation of what to do and how to do it (join the community group), this can be a struggle for users (so they could add information like screenshots).

Lisa: Action item, come up with a way to parse comments and internally add screenshots that are at least mainsteam/easy to access.

Kiki: Can try to parse and add screenshots where possible.

Lisa: Feedback from community group (information gathering) is more or less done.. Kiki will be able to present current items by next meeting but contributions will continue to trickle in depending on what and how we might publicize it.

Jennie: re: concern about community to engage with COGA. Some use-cases on how those difficulties manifest (in contributing) would be helpful in making a business case to w3c on providing new/better alternatives.

Kiki: Is there a pipeline for solutions? Jennie: John and Jennie have a list of some supports needed to be able to complete the W3C access processes. They (W3C) wants to prototype some solutions.

John: Research done on other orgs and what supports and processes are out there in parallel circumstances.

Lisa: State of collaboration tool information gathering (from researching) Jenny: Can reboot this process with some review of previous emails/discussions.

Lisa: Open call for joining this discussion on collab tools

<Jan_> This is Jan - I am interested in collab tools

<kirkwood> JK- collaboration tools

<Lisa> next item

<Lisa> close item 2

<Jennie> *Jan and kirkwood: got your names recorded. Thank you!

<Lisa> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YJGc_GCCc48UFSjqUuIQzBY2lyACQdMAFomiu2hoins/edit

Per Lisa: Aaron's action item on issue papers that need updates. Per Aaron, more or less, they all do (need research updates) - gap analysis.

Aaron: This is from January action item on published research gap analysis; e.g. web of things, internet of thing, autism, etc. gap analysis. Overall, two main findings. 1. W3C papers are ambiguous on the model used (medical, social). 2. From papers from ACM Library, some reviews are finding minimal participant research (less citations), more anecdotes.

Aaron: Final point: review of URC protocol: used for remote controls. This protocol may not be relevant anymore for physical interfaces and needs clarification. Also, no mentions of QR codes which seems like it should be included.

Aaron would like feedback on this doc

Lisa: Document feedback processes might be a good topic for discussion with other W3C groups.

Lisa: Aaron to continue with research and propose sprint contents plus anyone wanting to volunteer.

Aaron: Worth getting consensus from similar W3C groups to have consistent review process; but also worth continuing on our research processes to avoid waiting for the larger collective agreement (APA, etc).

<Jennie> Apologies - have to drop

Aaron: Perhaps we should come up with a position paragraph/section around definitions, language, models used and so on?

<julierawe> Have to drop, thanks

<Jan_> I would like to be a part of the conversation
