    paulc: we originally could not find new information, and the a11y
    task force is working on a revised version

    janina: we have a strong interest in having this taken up again; the
    proposal has significantly been beefed up.
    ... unclear that this was dealt with appropriately originally
    ... we are now pointing to the original decision to justify the
    reopening

    <paulc_> Revised request is in:

    paulc: chairs want to make it clear what the next status is

Change proposal reviews

    issue-30?

    <trackbot> ISSUE-30 -- Should HTML 5 include a longdesc attribute
    for images -- open

    <trackbot> [61]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/30

      [61] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/30

    paulc: we have having a dialog with Laura on 30

    issue-170?

    <trackbot> ISSUE-170 -- make URIs valid link relations -- open

    <trackbot> [62]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/170

      [62] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/170

    paulc: we are having dialogs with the authors of the proposals on
    170

    issue-134?

    <trackbot> ISSUE-134 -- Provide tablist and tab states for menu and
    command elements respectively -- open

    <trackbot> [63]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/134

      [63] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/134

    paulc: the chairs are having dialogs with the various authors and
    the WG can expect more

    janina: Thanks for 134, I am concerned about recent developments
    around longdesc, this is not just Laura's proposal but a TaskForce
    backed proposal
    ... we are disappointed that a split off happened based on ARIA, it
    would have been helpful to have been coordinating that more closely

    paulc: janina is repeating judy's concerns about issue 204
    ... the feedback on 30 was to put the material relevant to the
    change proposal in the proposal itself

    judy: there appears to have been changes in the advice over time
    over this
    ... in the past, we were advised to put in links; perhaps we could
    get more uniform guidance?

    paulc: the underlying principle is to help the CP authors to make
    their case as possible; in this case we found some arguments that we
    thought the author could use to make their proposal stronger; if the
    authors don't wish to make their proposal stronger, that's their
    choice.

    judy: I'm hearing that you prefer all of the text to be a single
    page?

    paulc: we review each on their merits, and in this case we thought
    this particular proposal would be improved by making this specific
    text into the base text.
    ... any other business to raise?

Chair and Scribe for next meeting

    paulc: Maciej likely will be the chair

    glenn: I can scribe
