Joshue: We are going to have a F2F at CSUN
Shadi: Are you looking at Tuesday, WCAG-EM is looking to have one on Mon and Tues. Maybe we can coordinate
Joshue: ok
<MichaelC> agenda order 7, 5

AK: I responded to most of the
comments
... ARIA 10, this your comment is how do we come to
consensus.....we did discuss and approved on Dec 10th.....what
do people think about it?
<Joshue108> +q
DM: My concern is F65 and ARIA 10 - this sounds cyclical - I think we need to fix one or the other. Maybe we should discuss at F2F
JO: I think we do need to talk about it.
<kerstin_> sorry for delay
JO: Michael can we suspend this until we have time to talk about it?
<Joshue108> +q
AK: If we are looking to publish today - that could be a problem
LGR: We can still publish today and add a NOTE to the draft - identifying that we are still working on this one issue
LGR; Reasonable?
MC: Yes
MC; Suggest in STATUS provide list of things we are working on. And add and ED NOTE describe the issue
JO: That sounds good
<Joshue108> +1 to AWK
AK: I want to speak to Davids
suggestion, I think we want commentors to address this document
- not F65 - we never approved F65
... Does anyone object to adding tabindex -1?
LGR: You need identify that tabindex -1 works for IE
DM: So often I see developers copy code - thinking that they have fixed it. My other concernis the ID - you are not supposed to start and ID with a number
AWK: We are no clear on
that
... It is L1 and L2 - I think it was L just for label
LGR: This should be easy to fix
<Joshue108> KHS: A major selling point of WCAG is that we allow for the updating of techs and our docs - this is important to identify.
<Joshue108> +q
<AWK> how about: WCAG 2.0 guidelines and success criteria are designed to be broadly applicable to current and future web technologies, including dynamic applications, mobile, digital television, etc. They are stable and do not change. Specific guidance for authors and evaluators on meeting the WCAG success criteria is provided in techniques, which include code examples, resources, and tests. W3C's Techniques for WCAG 2.0 document is updated periodically, about once a ye
<AWK> to cover more current best practices and changes in technologies and tools.
<Joshue108> re: AWK, its good. How about WCAG 2.0 guidelines and success criteria are designed to be broadly applicable to current and future web technologies, including dynamic applications, mobile, digital television, etc. They are stable and do not change. However, specific guidance for authors and evaluators on meeting the WCAG success criteria is provided in regularily updated techniques, which include code examples, resources, and tests.
<Joshue108> +q
KHS: No it should not block publication - but I would like to ensure that the RATIONALE/REASON the Techniques and Understanding are non-normative and updatable to avoid being a rapidly outdated standard
LGR: My comments were mostly about the itengrity of the documents
<Joshue108> http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2014/WD-WCAG20-TECHS-20140107/F24.html
AWK: Yes, we were also concerned about that, and took some action, and learned a lot
Kerstin: We could make an editor note
AWK: We want the WG to discuss this before we add it as a note
<Joshue108> +q
JO: I agree with what Andrew is saying before we send it out
Kerstin: Yes I am OK with this
MJ: I cannot view the Intro text on the Quickref page - and it is also not displaying any of my choices for techniques
<Joshue108> http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/20140107/Overview.php?introopt=Y
<marcjohlic> http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/20140107/Overview.php
<David> +1 here
MC: Yes I see that, I will look into that
JO: Will you be able to fix that on the call?
MC: Probably not
RESOLUTION: Group has Approval of Techniques and Understanding documents for Public Review - provided the QuickRef document fix and Comment about ARIA 10
<AWK> brb
DM: I can suggest text for ARIA 10 - will do with Loretta right now
<shadi> http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/conformance/comments-20131129
Shadi: This is from the previous
editors draft
... We asked ERT, WCAG and EO to review
... we ended up with over 100 comments we have proposed
resolutions. There are a coupe of open ones that I wouldlike to
go over. We want to Publish as a working group draft
<Loretta> THe Working Group is still discussing whether it is appropriate to use various aria attributes to provide a text alternative for an image without providing an alt attribute. Example XX demonstrates a situation where it might be desirable just to use aria-abelledby, with no alt attribute. We solicit feedback on this example and on the general issue.
<shadi> http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/conformance/comments-20131129#comment18
<Joshue108> Nice Loretta!
<Loretta> (Need David's input...)
Shadi: Comment 18: Core Functionality
<Joshue108> Should we say something like "still discussing the wider issue of new methods to provide text alternatives[...]" or similar?
<shadi> "Essential Functionality"
Shadi: We felt that Greggs
terminology might not be understood - so we suggest to call it
Essential Functionality, Is that OK?
... The definition will remain the same as it is now.
... There have been several suggestions
<shadi> http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/conformance/comments-20131129#comment26
<David> I would add to lorretta: THe Working Group is still discussing whether it is appropriate to use various aria attributes to provide a text alternative for an image without providing an alt attribute (i.e. by amending F65). Example XX demonstrates a situation where it might be desirable just to use aria-abelledby, with no alt attribute. We solicit feedback on this example and on the general issue.
<Loretta> Sounds good to me, David.
<Joshue108> I'm wondering if we should refer to the issue of 'alternatives to traditional ways of providing alternate text' - ARIA is one of those ways.
<Joshue108> THe Working Group is still discussing whether it is appropriate to only use various aria attributes, in some use cases, to provide a text alternative for an image without providing an alt attribute.
<David> Andrew can you add the <ednote>?
<Loretta> I think David's version is easier to understand.
<Joshue108> Ok. I does mention F65 tho..
Shadi: Comment 26: We are
suggesting not to use Gregg's but to use what we have
... Are there any objections
<shadi> [[W3C/WAI provides a set of publicly documented (non-normative) Techniques for WCAG 2.0 that help evaluate conformance to WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria. However, it is not necessary to use these particular techniques (see Understanding Techniques for WCAG Success Criteria). Some evaluators might use other methods (inline with the requirements for custom techniques) to evaluate conformance to WCAG 2.0. W3C/WAI provides a set of publicly documented (non-normative) Te
<shadi> chniques for WCAG 2.0 that help evaluate conformance to WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria.]]
<Joshue108> Should we call ARIA attributes, in this context, supporting text alternatives?
<Joshue108> That could be problematic on second thoughts..
DM: You need to be conformant to SC not techniques
Shadi: We say nowhere to evaluate conformance with Techniques
Kerstin: I do not agree - I would agree with publishing at a working draft
Shadi: What is the issue? What do you see?
LGR: All of the WCAG documents is meant for a variety of audiences - the techniques are not limited to developers
+1 to LGR
Shadi: All we are saying that
Techniques *can* help in evaluating conformance to WCAG 2
SC
... Maybe we can allow more time
I have no problem with Publication
DM: The two key issues for me are
fairly important. One on Comment 37: I see therational fornot
changing it. The wording I proposed that it is important have
PWD to be used, but I think it is going to be less of
anevaluationif a PWD is not always included
... I think most evaluators can discover most relevant
issues
Shadi: This language has been there from the beginning
JO: Can you live with this as is?
DM: Yes
... What about a specific size?
Shadi: We think that what we have
proposed is best and more consistant
... We also run into issues with a fixed number of pages
<Joshue108> +q
DM: Just provide some guidance
Shadi: We hope to do that in the next draft
<shadi> http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/conformance/comments-20131129#comment43
Shadi: Comment 43: Relates to
Scoring - this is strongly disputed
... Developing a ratio as a ballpark figure - not comparing one
site with another - but rather a site against itself
... One issue is that we call it scoring - but really it is a
ratio to get a rough idea. One idea is to keep that section,
another is to drop that section for this draft
Kerstin: I don't think that scoring is useful. There are no proven data for the reliabiility of the suggested scoring system in WCAG-EM. Therefore I would like to see dropping the section on scoring
<Joshue108> +q
DM: The government of Canada was really hoping to see this document covering Scoring - everybody wants it - bu tI am not sure that it is realistic
<kerstin_> Ryladog: I've said that, that I don't think that scoring is useful. And that there are no proven data for the reliabiility of the suggested scoring system. Therefore I would like to see droping the section
Shadi: Maybe we can extend the comments to the end of the week?
JO: I would rather us reviewing
it this week and addressing it on next weeks call - as the
ScoringMetrics is a very big issue
... Please put you suggested text for ARIA 10 here now?
<kerstin_> Ryladog, could please correct my comment on scoring?

<kerstin_> thx @ryladog
* you bet!
DM: Should we include HTML 5?
JO: I think we will leave HTML 5 out for now
JO; This is really going to blow up.
Bring it on
DM: The F@F well be fantastic
