- 14:08:06 [jeanne]
- [review the project structure and phases with Objectives and Methods, that Sarah has been working on.]
- 14:08:40 [jeanne]

- 14:12:41 [jeanne]
- Topic: Goals
- 14:17:44 [jeanne]
- Goal 1: Including as many perspectives of stakeholders in the process. To be as inclusive as possible with as many stakeholders as possible to make sure that Silver is more helpful to each of these perspectives.
- 14:18:38 [jeanne]
- ... like personas -- bring up as many people as are users of WCAG
- 14:19:33 [jeanne]
- Goal 2 to broadly communicate our efforts
- 14:20:48 [jeanne]
- s/Silver is more helpful / Silver is as effective as possible
- 14:21:23 [jeanne]
- SL: We want communication to be two-ways -- not only that we are communicating out, but we are also creating communication coming in.
- 14:22:07 [jeanne]
- ... some parts of the process will be constrained where we don't want too many cooks in the kitchen, others we will want broad communication and handle many opinions.
- 14:23:18 [jeanne]
- Goal 3: Informed decision making drives process. Facts, evidence, data drives decisions. As well as feedback from communication channels. Any decision about the process is made out of facts and evidence instead of
- 14:23:27 [jeanne]
- ... "feelings"
- 14:24:19 [jeanne]
- Goal 4: Looking forward and backward in time to Silver, looking how Silver and WCAG will be updated and has to speak to how do we get there, how do we maintain it over time.
- 14:25:25 [jeanne]
- Goal 5: Serve a broader ranger of disabilitites than just the ones known by the working group.
- 14:25:55 [jeanne]
- ... Broaden the scope of applicability so Silver is more inclusive of disabilites and technologies.
- 14:26:12 [jeanne]
- ... Silver content is more diverse.
- 14:26:39 [jeanne]
- ... the process needs to support that goal.
- 14:27:07 [jeanne]
- Goal 6: User community and stakeholders are committed to success
- 14:27:17 [jeanne]
- ... we need engaged stakeholders
- 14:29:20 [jeanne]
- Goal 7: Establish clear milestones, so we can track progress throughout the effort.
- 14:32:04 [jeanne]
- SL: The inclusive goal needs to also include different languages, so that the survey can get input from people in other language.
- 14:33:26 [jeanne]
- action: jeanne will set up a survey and draft an email to the WCAG WG
- 14:33:48 [jeanne]
