If people need it I can send it. 15:11:35 awk: about models moving forward and analysis of information collected. 15:12:02 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 awk: most positive comments on 2.2 and a cluster on 3.1 15:12:34 awk: option 1.1 - keep what we have in charter and add normative extensions 15:12:51 My apologies for not speaking up - was having audio trouble 15:13:13 davidmacdonald has joined #wai-wcag 15:13:36 drop in the url again... thx 15:13:41 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 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 awk: 3.1 would mean we would consolodate all into a new WCAG to propose to W3C 15:14:46 Rakesh has joined #wai-wcag 15:14:51 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 awk: people seem to agree that normative work should not branch based on separate documents 15:15:13 awk: TF work is import and we want to get it out to people in a form they can use. 15:16:42 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 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 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 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 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 has joined #wai-wcag 15:19:59 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 15:20:10 q? 15:20:10 awk: opportunity for people to comment or ask questions? 15:20:31 q? 15:20:40 I'm happy with the proposed approach... 15:21:01 s/UUAG/UAAG 15:21:01 q+ 15:21:02 q+ 15:21:03 q+ 15:21:09 ack je 15:21:54 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 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 awk: lots of room for how that could happen 15:23:11 ack mike 15:23:13 jeanne: likes idea 15:24:03 mike: Talks about timing, wondering when specific deadlines would be set. Would that be handled when TF complete things? 15:24:47 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 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 ack jon 15:25:50 Jon: I like the idea of an iterative approach but have concerns about what doesn't get in 15:25:57 q+ 15:26:14 ... 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 ... may cause confusion about what is required and not with multiple versions 15:27:11 q+ 15:27:12 ... have heard the conversation shift since starting the TF work. More people saying "we aren't doing this without a formal requirement in WCAG" 15:27:16 ack al 15:28:15 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 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 awk: things we would put in 2.x would be sorts of things that are relatively minor in the larger context. 15:29:50 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 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 awk: don't envision taking WCAG, UAAG, and ATAG and pressing them together to get one large document 15:31:28 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. 15:31:28 +1 alastair 15:31:35 q? 15:31:38 acl la 15:31:43 awk: we want assistive tech and user agents to repsond accordingly as that makes a huge difference 15:32:13 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 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 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 15:34:42 q? 15:34:45 acl l 15:34:47 ack l 15:34:49 awk: If it takes too long and there are new develoopments then we never accomplish anything 15:35:57 david: probably the way to go and it's the consensus -- the onus is on us to push things through 15:36:14 awk: David you were the one who proposed 3.1 15:37:03 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 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 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 awk: more rapid candence might provide some benefit to make sure there is not large time span 15:39:29 q? 15:39:33 present+ Mike_Elledge 15:39:42 david: New York City said WCAG 2 or 508 or their replacements -- may be language that others should use 15:40:27 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 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 awk: Alistair had submitted a poll request here -- I haven't take a look. 15:42:15 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 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? 15:43:40 http://w3c.github.io/wcag/Understanding/conformance.html 15:43:41 MC: document can now be generated automatically and goes to a github pages branch. w3c.github.io/understanding/overview 15:43:50 http://w3c.github.io/wcag/Understanding/Overview.html 15:44:24 MC: Now able to be kept up-to-date with edits from working branch -- only reflecting working branch not other branches people are making proposals in 15:44:57 MC: In principle it may be possible to have them generated in some location. People can run the generator locally if they want to. 15:45:15 awk: Question -- how comfortable are people reading changes in Github by looking at code? 15:45:23 How comfortable are people reading this: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/184/files?diff=split 15:46:15 q+ 15:46:24 q+ 15:46:40 alistair: had to make my own HTML version in order to make it easier to read 15:46:55 ack me 15:47:29 MC: been on list for a few years to make the source more HTML like -- it is going to be a lot of work -- should we do that now or do that for the 3.0 work? 15:48:46 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 awk: Alistair, in regards to your quesiton about next steps -- it will take people time to review -- we would want to get this on a survey -- send Josh and I a note and send a link and if it's in good shape for a survey we can crete one 15:50:37 I've revised issue 173 https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/173 15:51:25 Agenda+ Github issues 15:51:32 q+ 15:51:36 Zakim, take up item 2 15:51:36 agendum 2.
