15:08:45 [jon_avila]
awk: Also new is Steve Repsher
15:09:34 [jon_avila]
awk: just sent out email before the call some information that Michael, Andrew, and Josh sent out -- but it looks like it didn't make it out due to email issues.

Mike_Elledge has joined #wai-wcag
15:10:19 [jon_avila]
awk: it's around what we are going to do with WCAG moving forward as a result of the meetings at CSUN and other items that Jeanne and John Foliot had
15:10:25 [jon_avila]
MC: worth re-sending
15:10:30 [jon_avila]

15:11:23 [jon_avila]
awk: is anyone not in IRC? If people need it I can send it.
15:11:35 [jon_avila]
awk: about models moving forward and analysis of information collected.
15:12:02 [jon_avila]
awk: looking to propose the following as a direction and to discuss whether the group feels this is a good path forward.
15:12:16 [jon_avila]
awk: most positive comments on 2.2 and a cluster on 3.1
15:12:34 [jon_avila]
awk: option 1.1 - keep what we have in charter and add normative extensions
15:12:51 [SteveRep]
My apologies for not speaking up - was having audio trouble

15:13:36 [davidmacdonald]
drop in the url again... thx
15:13:41 [jon_avila]
awk: option 2.2 is to do a WCAG 2.x and pick a date when we would have it and when TF have SC ready and we would work to make sure they coordinate we would publish a 2.1 that would include SC that include SC from any TF as long as it was ready.
15:14:05 [jon_avila]
awk: that might mean one TF has all SC in and other has some or no -- all sorts of possible combinations and the goal is that TF know what the deadline is.
15:14:34 [jon_avila]
awk: 3.1 would mean we would consolodate all into a new WCAG to propose to W3C
15:14:46 [Rakesh]
Rakesh has joined #wai-wcag
15:14:51 [jon_avila]
awk: We have to do this in the context of a 3 year charter. Not as if we have a 10 year charter
15:15:02 [jon_avila]
awk: people seem to agree that normative work should not branch based on separate documents
15:15:13 [jon_avila]
awk: TF work is import and we want to get it out to people in a form they can use.
15:16:42 [jon_avila]
awk: suggestion to re-charter with permission to have WCAG 2.1 within 2 years. That means we would need to go through public review and address comments and make sure SC from TFs are ready in the 9 to 12 months to make sure it's all working well and fits into the requirements that have to exist
15:17:27 [jon_avila]
awk: possible that some SC might not make it into 2.1 or perhaps the items might move into AAA if the technology is not ready yet and at some point they could move into a higher priority level
15:18:05 [jon_avila]
awk: TF can produce non-normative notes. If mobile is done and has something is substantial and worth sharing with the web community that can be published as a non-normative note and best practices and that same advice would be what we are considering in 2.1 release
15:18:47 [jon_avila]
awk: important that we start on WCAG next planning -- not even sure what the term would even be and possibly include UUAG and ATAG. We would need to recharter before we did a WCAG 2.2.
15:19:32 [jon_avila]
awk: we'd need to determine how far out we are from the next WCAG -- what's changed in supprt, would we do a 2.2 or a next major release that we would focus on that.
15:19:47 [AGarrison]
AGarrison has joined #wai-wcag
15:19:59 [jon_avila]
awk: plan is to move forward with a 2.1 and then release that follows in timely fashion and that if we can't do major release then we woudl be ready to do a 2.2

jeanne: interested in the best practices documents -- not sure I've heard a lot about in TF -- is this working group notes or something published through EO working group or W3C site?
15:23:02 [jon_avila]
awk: threw out idea as a WG note -- might want a w3c site resource -- or perhaps into quick reference guide -- lot of details to decide. Main point is how to get this important work from TF out there.
15:23:09 [jon_avila]
awk: lots of room for how that could happen
15:23:11 [AWK_]
ack mike
15:23:13 [jon_avila]
jeanne: likes idea
15:24:03 [jon_avila]
mike: Talks about timing, wondering when specific deadlines would be set. Would that be handled when TF complete things?
15:24:47 [jon_avila]
awk: specific timing is not being set today -- larger question around that. Right now TF should 9 -12 months from now shoudl be able to come up with SC. That is sort of the time frame that would need to be met.
15:25:27 [jon_avila]
awk: if a new TF is established in 5 months would only have a short time to address new criteria. We'd need a full year to integrate and have review in order to get approval
15:25:27 [AWK_]

15:25:50 [AWK_]
Jon: I like the idea of an iterative approach but have concerns about what doesn't get in

... we want orgs to adopt but it may be difficult for govs to do so if it is only adding some things and not others
15:26:31 [AWK_]
... may cause confusion about what is required and not with multiple versions
15:27:11 [laura]
q+
15:27:12 [AWK_]
... have heard the conversation shift since starting the TF work. More people saying "we aren't doing this without a formal requirement in WCAG"

15:28:15 [jon_avila]
Alistair: wondering about the UUAG and ATAG aspects as they have finished up recently -- has anyone considered doing small based campaign updates? For example, how do the WCAG 2.1 updates affect what user agents should be doing?
15:28:59 [jon_avila]
awk: if we are talking SC for user agents we aren't talking about WCAG 2 line -- we would be talking about a WCAG next -- a major update.
15:29:17 [jon_avila]
awk: things we would put in 2.x would be sorts of things that are relatively minor in the larger context.
15:29:50 [jon_avila]
awk: some gray area in what is minor and what is not minor - so we have to figure that out. When we talk about major shifts such as authroing tools and user agents that WCAG next category
15:30:13 [jon_avila]
awk: In terms of what WCAG next looks like whether it is an omnibus document or collection of smaller documents is up for discussion at this point.
15:30:44 [jon_avila]
awk: don't envision taking WCAG, UAAG, and ATAG and pressing them together to get one large document
15:31:28 [jon_avila]
alistair: if we find something that comes out of WCAG 2.1 and we release it's a user agent things -- like to push something out to a place where people creating user agents see it and address it.

15:31:43 [jon_avila]
awk: we want assistive tech and user agents to repsond accordingly as that makes a huge difference
15:32:13 [jon_avila]
laura: likes idea -- a little worried about low vision task force as they got started late and wonder if the timeline has been discussed as we are just working on gap analysis now
15:33:15 [jon_avila]
awk: not sure LVTF will have everything completed but feel comfortable that they will have a good collection of success criteria to provide in that timeframe. There is clearly overlap between different task forces are discussing in terms of needs. So shared work is going happening
15:34:26 [jon_avila]
awk: not unagresive but not agressive either -- we are trying to propose something that balances reality and the need for expediency . Make improvements where improvements are sought

awk: If it takes too long and there are new develoopments then we never accomplish anything
15:35:57 [jon_avila]
david: probably the way to go and it's the consensus -- the onus is on us to push things through
15:36:14 [jon_avila]
awk: David you were the one who proposed 3.1
15:37:03 [jon_avila]
david: have concerns like Jon that we have things coming out and then more the next year that the cycle is too fast for legislation. Not that we should be concerned with legislation.
15:37:29 [jon_avila]
david: from the technology side and providing access to people with disabilities the sooner is better -- so I think we have to balance it and people's voices have been heard.
15:38:15 [jon_avila]
awk: we will have to think about what the update schedule is - what is that -- every 2 year, every 5 years. There will always be some organization that is updating their policy right before we are done no matter what.
15:39:11 [jon_avila]
awk: more rapid candence might provide some benefit to make sure there is not large time span

david: New York City said WCAG 2 or 508 or their replacements -- may be language that others should use
15:40:27 [jon_avila]
awk: what I propose -- it's on the list -- it showed up -- will include the minutes from this discussion will be included -- we can continue the discussion on the list for this
15:41:11 [jon_avila]
awk: at some point we will have a call for consensus. I will send out an update to say where the group is at on the call and we can go from there? Does that work? Any objections?
15:41:52 [jon_avila]
awk: Alistair had submitted a poll request here -- I haven't take a look.
15:42:15 [jon_avila]
Alistair: Patrick also make a pull request but I made an alternative -- what is the next step to have people look at it?
15:43:13 [jon_avila]
awk: an update that Michael just did may affect this -- related to ability to see proposed changes in github pull request -- for people to see that in conext without reading code. Is this just once it's been accepted?

mike: had some confusion until I saw the pluses and minuses. Had some trouble creting a request -- so sent to Josh instead.
15:50:17 [jon_avila]
