Check that the image conveys important information. 2. Check that a text equivalent for the image is not available programmatically. 3.

Correct that the text is not associated directly w/ the CSS image, but it is INDIRECTLY associated via the DOM node 15:48:59 q+ 15:49:03 JN: People are going to be doing this anyway - so we need to provide them a way to do it correctly 15:49:47 q? 15:49:50 LGR: What is is WCAG that makes it true that if an image is not available neither is the alt text.. Would it be 1.1.1? Discussion around that 15:49:58 ack jon 15:49:59 -Dan 15:50:36 JA: Strictly speaking you can't provide an alternative based on the text alt definition. You could still meet WCAG through other methods - so maybe not under 1.1.1 it could be under conformance 15:50:51 q+ 15:51:04 JA: If you had a chart that didn't provide all of the details via alt text, but the the details were provided on the page 15:51:18 q? 15:51:30 ack awk 15:51:36 q+ 15:52:12 AWK: The use case I see is where there is an icon - and for some reason they like to use and maybe it has text inside it or sometimes it doesn't, and they use CSS to assign a background image 15:52:37 AWK: The difference between this method and using is that AT alerts the user that there is an image there 15:53:46 AWK: It's very uncomfortable - probably an area where we should make a note for ourselves about future work. Feel that the INTENT is clear enough, but there might be enough wiggle room in 1.1.1 where an argument could be made that the element is being made into non-text content 15:53:57 Q- 15:54:16 q? 15:55:32 AWK: Big question really is: We may be making some assumptions about what the UA is going to do with text alternatives 15:56:02 JOC: To James' point to what degree can we rely on the UA to handle that correctly (indirect association via the DOM) 15:56:30 JOC: Do we need to leave open and work on the Test procedure more? My sense is yes 15:57:24 JOC: I think we need to be more clear from the UA side on what is likely to happen in the majority of cases when CSS images aren't displayed. Things have change from when this was first written. 15:58:07 JOC: Are there differences when CSS is off vs when CSS images are off 15:58:20 JN: We don't need to worry about CSS off for conformance 15:59:22 AWK: Let's leave this open for another week to look at this one 15:59:32 q+ 15:59:51 JA: If you're going to propose changing the Test procedures, also need to update the Expected Results 15:59:55 AWK: Agree 16:00:10 ack mike 16:00:11 JOC: Agree and would help to clear up all of the "if" cases 16:00:31 ME: Wondering if we also need to take a look at SC for presenting alternate content 16:00:45 Zakim, agenda? 16:00:45 I see 4 items remaining on the agenda: 16:00:46 1.

"Charter update" taken up [from Joshue108] 16:02:40 AWK: Brief update about charter - many of you have heard from us that the charters are out for review 16:02:53 AWK: Word that we've gotten back is that we may need some modifications 16:03:19 AWK: Substantial number of comments that came in on different topics 16:03:25 ack me 16:03:29 q? 16:03:37 Zakim, mute me 16:03:37 Joshue should now be muted 16:03:41 AWK: Charter proposed did not have any normative work defined in it - and that was raised by a number of commentors 16:04:09 AWK: So there are things going on, and if you're a member of a W3C company you can go in and review the comments. 16:04:59 AWK: For WCAG the main comment was that WCAG is very important and that there needs to be Normative work going on. Folks have talked about normative extensions as opposed to "version" updates 16:05:48 AWK: Based on conversations and WAI2020 meetings at CSUN, people feel there are pieces that might need to be updated. Want to validate what I was hearing with folks on the WG call 16:06:02 q+ 16:06:29 YES! 16:06:30 yes! 16:06:43 MJ: Yes 16:06:54 AWK: Do you feel that there is enough that we've identified via Mobile and Cognitive work that there are things that need normative work 16:07:10 ack ryl 16:07:43 KHS: Extensions are a good idea. We need to continue to leave the techniques as non-normative. 16:08:18 KHS: So keep extensions normative - but any techniques that come out of those non-normative so that we can address any changes that are needed 16:09:00 q? 16:09:01 KHS: Would also include "Low Vision" concerns and possibly even "wearables" in addition to mobile 16:10:05 AWK: Extensions idea - similar to the way the ongoing work to HTML5 is being done 16:11:05 AWK: Discussing that WCAG extensions could be handled the same way. WCAG would still be there - could be referenced, but that as extensions come out some other company / institution etc could say "OK we are WCAG plus Extension X" 16:11:34 AWK: Then at some future time we could decide to wrap these all together 16:12:00 AWK: That was the discussion at CSUN - smaller more agile extensions. And yes techniques would still be normative 16:12:28 s/still be normative/still be non-normative/ 16:13:07 AWK: Even talking about finding ways to make techniques work even faster. For example what if Techniques were pulled off of the TR track and updated much more quickly 16:13:31 Zakim, mute me 16:13:31 Joshue was already muted, Joshue108 16:13:40 q? 16:13:48 AWK: We have already moved to every 6 months, but perhaps could make it faster. Techniques could be modified, rolled out more readily. Just something that was discussed. 16:14:08 Zakim, agenda? 16:14:08 I see 3 items remaining on the agenda: 16:14:10 2.

Would be a great contribution to have folks that could update those to HTML5 16:22:07 https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Working_Group_Techniques_Development_Assignments 16:22:31 AWK: This url is where we have tracked this in the past (needed technique work) 16:22:57 I don't think our aside technique never got finished. 16:23:13 AWK: Similarly, if you found some techniques on your own, throw an item on this page indicating the work you're going to help out with 16:23:48 zakim, agenda? 16:23:48 I see 3 items remaining on the agenda: 16:23:49 2.
