Meeting minutes

<gb> /issues/101 -> #101

New Business

all: discussion about gathering at CSUN

Fazio: Neha, David, Volker, Sheri, Charles, Mark would be there

Github Issues 43, 78, 85, 102, 103, 104 (Usability doc feedback)

<Stacey> Doc for agenda item 2: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wrhomdc2gJWIkDPOveiH3_ig1bddTMonEhIDZIzohrc/edit?usp=sharing

sbyrnehaber: Seems more like an Implementation Guide than a Usability doc

Stacey: everyone should do a quick read-through if you haven't looked at it outside of the core meeting

Stacey: the document customizes each dimension with what types of proof points are valid for for each level

Stacey: reviewed communications as an example

Lionel_Wolberger: Scope is not overt, the list is intimidating

lionel: informal communications could include chats at the coffee pot

Lionel_Wolberger: is there a place where the scope needs to be defined?

stacey: should we add a section in the "how to rate and evaluate" to include directions on the fact that orga/individuals can define their scope in the spreadsheet...assessment scope...they can mark things as not applicable, etc.
… See spreadsheet for defining scope (as an example)

sbyrnehaber: assessment scope is the first field in the spreadsheet, also, n/a can be used to limit scope

<Lionel_Wolberger> Jeff: The Excel does have fields for the declaration of scope. The "Final totals" tab says, scope.

<Lionel_Wolberger> ... each tab has, as row 2, "Assessment Scope"

david: provided accessibility example using his communications with an individual who is d/Deaf

example of informal communication

<Lionel_Wolberger> sbyrnehaber: Taking the lawyer's perspective, any communication that would be exposed in discovery, could be in scope

Sheri: anything that can be demanded in litigation could be included in informal communications

Stacey: Sounds like we are defining what 'informal communication' means, and not talking about the evaluation phase

<janina> http://raw.githack.com/w3c/ctaur/js2402a/index.html

Does this doc help with the social expecations of a11y collaboration? Tech needs to cover, but not every team will have all situations on the team. Take the considerations that pertain and leave the rest.

Jeff: encompassing as possible, but people need to use their own judgement. But we don't want to leave a huge loophole for avoidance of resolving IT accessibility. Informal and formal IT is fine. Let's leave for now.

<CharlesL> +1 Foundation...

<CharlesL> We need to capitalize Accessible Communications
