 judy: BenToWeb project working on test suite for WCAG 2.0
... Carlos Velsaco (project leader) and Christophe Strobbe (deliverable leader) are interesting in aligning tests with WCAG WG developments
... current proposal is to set up a joint ERT - WCAG Task Force with co-facilitators from both groups
... focus for today's meeting is a quick "hello" to start coordination
... any comments or additions?

carlos: there could be multiple tests per success critieria
... there is (machine readable) description for each test
... in a "Test Case Description Language" (XML) that we want to make available to W3C

christophe: test suite is also to benchmark evaluation tools

carlos: not limited to fully automated evaluation tools

john: there isn't a 1-1 mapping from these tests to the techniques sections of WCAG 2.0?

carlos: currently they target the success criteria directly
... because they are based on the June WD of WCAG 2.0

judy: but you are interested in aligning to future revisions and mapping to techniques sections?

carlos: yes, but this is still work i progress and sometimes not very stable

ben: there is an "and / or" approach in the techniques. do these tests cover this model?

christophe: currently "OR" relation ships are not implemented
