16:24:57 [LeonieW]

16:28:52 [LeonieW]
MC: This is the omnibus escalation that encompasses all ARIA bugs.
16:29:31 [LeonieW]
MC: We took a representative bug and escalated it, then tied similar smaller bugs into it.
16:29:31 [Stevef]
q+

See http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/issue-status.html#ISSUE-199 which lists the other bugs
16:30:42 [LeonieW]
RS: How does one write a change proposal for this? Was the plan for multiple proposals?
16:32:00 [LeonieW]
RS: What's the time frame for proposals?
16:32:13 [LeonieW]
PC: Until 16th Feb.
16:32:37 [LeonieW]
JS: Do we need to reconstitute the ARIA mapping sub team?
16:34:07 [paulc]
I don't understand the statement "the Editor is not responding".
16:34:48 [LeonieW]
SF: Is it worth us providing the information needed for these bugs, and asking him to write something?
16:35:01 [LeonieW]
MC: No, it's probably better for us to write something.
16:35:54 [MikeSmith]
for the record, I believe it was a mistake to escalate those issues at this point
16:36:23 [paulc]
q+
16:36:25 [LeonieW]
SF: We hadn't responded to the needs info request. They're important for HTML5 now, not just down the track.
16:36:32 [MikeSmith]
in general, I think it's a mistake to prematurely escalate any issues until we have clearly reached a point of disagreement with an editor

16:37:44 [MikeSmith]
the escalation path was intended for not being used until we had reached an impasse -- that is, when it was clear the we could not get agreement between the editor and a commenter
16:37:50 [LeonieW]
PC: The bugs here are linked because I recommended to the TF that they should be. If they need to be split at any point for whatever reason, you should let me know.
16:38:19 [paulc]
q-
16:39:18 [LeonieW]
SF: What happens if we de-escalate them? Does that move them out of LC bugs?
16:39:20 [MikeSmith]
what we are doing by escalating them is cutting off the normal process of attempting to reach agreement in a reasonable way and instead imposing months of additional change-proposal-writing and process overhead on ourselves and the group and the chairs
16:40:05 [LeonieW]
PC: The chairs are always willing to see bugs closed based on consensus. The editor has told us he's not working on LC bugs at the moment.
16:40:18 [MikeSmith]
despite him having said that, he has been resolving LC bugs
16:40:27 [MikeSmith]
we are now down to 35 LC bugs
16:40:36 [MikeSmith]
and Hixie is continuing to work on them
16:40:51 [LeonieW]
PC: If you don't escalate them and don't get agreement with the editor, they will be moved into the next LC or to a later draft of the spec.
16:41:11 [LeonieW]
SF: We can still provide further information to the editor, or we can go further and provide the change proposal.
16:41:30 [LeonieW]
JS: Suggest a meeting is the sensible next step.

16:42:38 [LeonieW]
MS: Suggest we continue to get these bugs resolved. In particular the bug about lexical processing rules in ARIA. Hixie couldn't do anythig further, he was waiting for information.
16:43:13 [LeonieW]
SF: If we de-escalate them, can we later re-escalate them?
16:43:19 [LeonieW]
PC: No, that date has passed.
