(None heard) 15:15:05 AWK: point is that it is not latin-only, which is more obvious to commenter from Japan. 15:15:35 RESOLUTION: The phrase standard characters will be used instead 15:15:41 present+ katie 15:15:50 present+ GregL 15:16:21 TOPIC: Update to H83 15:16:44 https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/218/files?diff=split 15:18:06 AWK: Comment from Michael about making this change across techniques. However, it's not the highest priority item right now. This one is straightforward. 15:18:31 Joshue108: If anyone would like to go through all the other techniques, please let us know. 15:18:47 RESOLUTION: Accepted update to H86 as proposed 15:19:05 TOPIC: Changes to PDF Technology Notes 15:20:03 Greg_Lowney has joined #wai-wcag 15:20:14 AWK: Comments from Duff Johnson, e.g. updating the version of PDFUA. https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/220 15:20:37 q? 15:20:53 AWK: A comment about removing a UA (VoiceOver) is reasonable, but not the same criteria that we have used in general. 15:21:31 AWK: This is also an area that we can update quite easily, we can make that change any time. 15:22:01 Joshue108: Hopefully Duff will be happy with the changes, and can provide more input on the Ua issue. 15:22:22 RESOLUTION: Agreed to the response, and notes can be updated easily. 15:22:41 TOPIC: Remove H46 15:23:09 https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/217/files?diff=split 15:23:19 https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/209 15:23:56 Joshue108: Relates to no-embed, not used much any more as it has been superseded but other technologies. 15:24:33 Joshue108: Michael made a good comment/catch that we don't simply use HTML definition as the basis for inclusion. 15:24:38 q? 15:25:06 AC: From a dev perspective, if no-one is using it why do we need to support it? 15:25:28 AC: I don't see any reason to stilll include. 15:26:11 q+ 15:26:34 Joshue108: Does anyone know of use-cases where embed is used? 15:26:51 JamesN: I'm sure there is one, but don't know off the top of my head. 15:27:47 JamesN: Getting rid of the technique doesn't disqualify it, so I don't mind removing it so long as we don't put in a failure technique of the reverse. 15:27:51 ack AWK 15:28:23 Joshue_10 has joined #wai-wcag 15:28:43 AWK: Looking at the technique, all you have to do is have a no-embed element following an embed element. There is no test for the fall back equivalent. Not a good test procedure, as it doesn't check the alt is appropriate. 15:29:52 q? 15:30:28 Katy: Sufficient for media techniques? Then I agree, however, I'm a bit more conservative about keeping techniques in. 15:31:24 q? 15:31:27 q+ 15:31:38 +1 to Katie 15:31:44 ack me 15:32:15 Q+ 15:32:31 Joshue108: We have been in places like this before, but we might not get around to improving it, we're aware it needs fixing but it might not happen. 15:33:07 AWK: Not sure it is worth fixing as people aren't using it, so let's not waste time on the wording. 15:33:23 JamesN: Isn't there a step we can grab from another technique? 15:33:37 AWK: we could do that, and send for review, and then people wonder why we are doing that? 15:33:41 ack JF 15:34:05 JF: This is a small thing, so leave it as is, look forward not back. 15:34:09 +1 15:34:21 +1 15:35:09 DavidM: Would remove it. 15:35:22 Joshue108: Need to move on, either remove it or keep as-is. 15:35:32 AWK: Need to respond to the comment. 15:35:43 Katie: For legacy content, we need to keep as-is. 15:36:01 Joshue108: Ok, it isn't breaking anything, let's keep as-is. 15:36:08 JF: Response to the comment? 15:36:23 Joshue108: Consensus is to keep due to legacy concerns. 15:36:25 Proposed response: Thank you for the comment.

However, that doesn't mean you can join the call. 15:42:08 Josh: Agree we should qualify that statement. 15:42:17 AWK: It does say that further down. 15:42:31 Mike: It is the "discussion" bit that is confusing. 15:42:44 AWK: So say "available for public review"? (Yes) 15:43:15 Josh: Technical discussions are public, the discussions are archived... 15:43:34 DavidM: Trying to get across it is not hidden, and open to other people's opinions. 15:43:43 q? 15:43:49 ack mike_ 15:44:26 typo: “The mission of the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group Charter” should be “The mission of the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group” 15:44:35 typo: 15:44:51 "implementations of each of feature defined in the specification" should be "implementations of each feature defined in the specification.." 15:45:31 Josh: Note that the 2.1 work and 3.0 are outlined in the charter. Any comments/questions please let us know. 15:45:31 q? 15:45:44 JamesN: Is there a version with the differences from the previous? 15:46:17 AWK: It is a new document in a new format, so unfortunately not. Some of the things that are changed: 15:46:31 AWK: Added dot releases starting with 2.1. 15:46:38 AWK: Removed is extensions. 15:47:15 AWK: Should read it as allowing to do a 2.2, and 1st working draft for Silver. Not expected the ability to do 2.1, 2.2. and silver in one go. 15:47:47 Huge +1 to leaving open the possibility of WCAG 2.2 (or even, god-forbid, a WCAG 2.3...) 15:48:07 AWK: We should publish 2.1, and then realise there is a bunch of things that are at least 5 years away, and then feel like there is nothing we can do. That's why it is open to a 2.2 15:48:35 AWK: If this starts in Sept, 3 years on, if we publish 2.1 in March 2018, it might be tight to do a 2.2 15:49:38 Josh: Focus is on 2.1, possible to do other iterations, and 3.0 / Silver. Any other comments? 15:49:54 q? 15:50:24 JF: Under 2.3 timeline, does that mean we do editorial changes, or new requirements? 15:51:08 JF: We have March 2017 for understanding and techniques. Are they for existing docs, or for the new ones? (2.1) 15:51:37 q? 15:51:55 q+ 15:51:59 AWK: Intent was for 2.0, not 2.1. We will need to mark things as applicable to 2.0, not 2.1. 15:52:07 q+ 15:53:11 AWK: Previous discussion was that techniques would be added to the aggregate grouping. 15:53:48 JF: There maybe some techniques that aren't applicable with 2.0, but don't have a mandate for backwards compatibility? 15:54:01 JF: Are the techniques/understanding evergreen? 15:54:54 AWK: There is some content that will only apply to 2.1, but everything from 2.0 should be applicable. 15:55:17 Ryladog has joined #wai-wcag 15:56:09 AWK: Should maintain backwards compatibility, also we have some things to discuss with W3C & EO group. 15:56:28 Q+ 15:56:29 ack me 15:57:37 Josh: Timeline is a little confusing, agree with AWK but need to separate out the timeline a bit. The 2.0 will be updated as needed, but perhaps the current work should be for 2.1 updates? Can say that 2.0 will be updated as required, but the timeline focuses on 2.1 15:57:45 ack me 15:57:48 ack greg 15:58:12 +1 to focus timeline on 2.1 15:58:35 s/The 2.0 will be updated as needed, but perhaps the current work should be for 2.1 updates?/The 2.0 will be updated as needed, but perhaps the current work should only be called out in the charter for 2.1 updates? 15:59:02 Greg: The doc seems a little confusing about the working group name, uses old and new. The abbreviations are in the old name. E.g. in out of scope it is the WCAG WG, also in the deliverables. 15:59:08 q? 15:59:45 Greg: There's a non-working link, could do with a placeholder (or fix) for that. 15:59:50 AWK: thank you 16:00:23 Greg: was a little worried about a need for updates to ATAG/UAAG under this charter? 16:00:35 Josh: we aren't responsible for ATAG/UAAG 16:00:46 Greg: true, but as part of silver? 16:00:56 Josh: Hasn't been decided how that will look yet. 16:02:01 AWK: we are unlikely to be publishing an ATAG 2.1 (for example). But we could provide merged recommendations in our deliverables aimed at user agents / content tools, later. 16:03:47 Greg: at the moment, members of ATAG/UAAG merged in, and if Silver takes on those aspects, the people in WCAG / AGWAG(?) would work on it. I'd like to acknowledge that it is within the province of this WG, although understand that could be problematic to include. 16:03:49 q+ in support of Greg's idea, could we add something in 2.2 Other Deliverables? A possible Note? 16:04:35 q+ 16:04:40 Josh: It is a little chicken and egg with regards to chartering, but the nuts and bolts are still to be resolved, some of which are not in our control (e.g. funding). 16:04:48 q+ 16:04:56 ack JF 16:06:05 JF: as an observer, if this group isn't responsible for ATAG/UAAG, who is? Those notes seem to be the responsibility of this WG? 16:06:17 Only UAAG is a note. ATAG is a REC 16:06:21 Josh: In terms of the work progressing, not sure how it will work. 16:06:54 JF: Useful to note that these notes/recommendations are published, we retain ownership of them. 16:07:50 q? 16:08:40 JF: +1 to brining in EO to the understanding, not sure about the techniques, have some concerns there. 16:09:04 ack jeanne 16:09:04 Josh: It would be great for EO to help with some of these docs, and the understanding docs especially would benefit. 16:10:05 Jeanne: I think UA & authoring have been included, for Greg's concerns, perhaps a bullet under the deliverables - any necessary updates to UAAG / ATAG as the need arises (but these are not expected) 16:10:05 +1 to what Jeanne is saying - that is/was what I was attempting to say as well 16:10:26 ack AWK 16:10:54 q+ not talk because I cant but to say that what Jeanne just said, IoT will have browser impacts that we need to think about in the future 16:11:49 q+ to not talk because I cant but to say that what Jeanne just said, IoT will have browser impacts that we need to think about in the future 16:11:55 AWK: What sort of updates to ATAG / UAAG are you thinking of here? We could maintain the errata, but trying not to commit to things we can't do. 16:12:03 q+ 16:12:20 Jeanne: Would be good to have the placeholder in case we do want to update something. 16:12:48 q- 16:13:02 Greg: If something came up, there is an owner here. For the errata, the groups were responsive for non-normative docs as well. They could be updated fairly easily. 16:13:08 jamesn has joined #wai-wcag 16:13:10 q+ to say to it seems to me that the charter may not address the practicalities of how WCAG can manage UAAG and ATAG merge with Silver 16:13:14 q- 16:13:58 rrsagent, make minutes 16:13:58 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2016/08/16-wai-wcag-minutes.html jamesn 16:14:29 present+ JamesNurthen 16:14:54 Josh: There is a good point about us not putting things into the Charter that become problematic in future. Need to be cautious. Whilst there is an ownership issue and errata for ATAG/UAAG, putting it in the charter does put it on us. On a practical level that might make sense for Silver, but still difficult. 16:14:56 ack ryla 16:14:56 Ryladog, you wanted to not talk because I cant but to say that what Jeanne just said, IoT will have browser impacts that we need to think about in the future 16:15:10 Q+ to say taht Josh is doing a great job of explaining why we *shouldn't* lose ownership of UAAG and ATAG 16:15:35 Katie: Not sure if it needs to be in the charter, but browsers & authoring tools for IOT (Internet of things) need to know about these guidelines. 16:15:41 ack jf 16:15:41 JF, you wanted to say taht Josh is doing a great job of explaining why we *shouldn't* lose ownership of UAAG and ATAG 16:16:22 Propose bullet for 2.2 Other Deliverables: * Working Group Notes to support understanding, interpretation, or errata of ATAG 2.0 and UAAG 2.0 as need arise (It is not anticipated that the need will arise). 16:16:23 q+ 16:16:31 JF: Appreciate we don't want to commit to things we can't deliver, but any errata to UAAG/ATAG should be with us. This working group retains control over them, rather than them being in limbo. 16:16:50 Josh: Will put on agenda for co-ordination call. 16:17:08 JameN: do we need things in the charter for non-normative things? 16:17:56 AWK: No, deliverables for non-normative things can be done without being in the charter. 16:18:02 IT is not that just that IOT (Internet of things) need to know about these guidelines - but that they may need to be updated to address IoT/WoT content, browsers and author tools for that content 16:18:16 JamesN: Errata appears to be non-normative according to the charter? 16:18:29 q+ 16:18:35 AWK: WCAG2 is non-normative, not in CR space at the moment. 16:18:58 ack david 16:19:04 AWK: WCAG2 errate is non-normative. 16:19:09 s/not in CR/not in TR 16:19:35 DavidM: Would the browser makers have any objection to us taking over that work? 16:20:30 But WCAG did assume members and expertise of ATAG and UAAG. 16:20:46 AWK: There would be some concerns if we took on things we don't have the background on, but there is some expectation that UAAG/ATAG should be covered as the WGs were combined. 16:21:17 s/WCAG2 is non-normative/WCAG2 errata is non-normative 16:21:26 and Jim Allen 16:22:09 AWK: primary driver in context of TFs was for 2.1, but people from ATAG/UAAG would be more relevant to Silver. 16:22:10 It is sliver 16:22:17 q? 16:22:49 JF: In either scenario, the current charter should mention ATAG/UAAG. 16:23:14 ack greg 16:23:16 Josh: those updates should be done in a more iterative manner. 16:23:31 JF: Could create TFs when needed if issues arise. 16:23:43 Greg: UAAG/ATAG expertise not as impactful? 16:23:51 AWK: in 2.1, not silver. 16:23:54 UA and AT expertise might not be as "impactful" in this WG as WC expertise, but I don’t not want our charter to prohibit us from using that expertise if work on those areas are needed before Silver. 16:24:21 Greg: I'm afraid that our charter would prohibit us from using that expertise if we needed to make updates to ATAG/UAAG. 16:24:51 Greg: The fact non-normative docs can be updated easily just leaves ATAG as the possibly orphaned one. 16:24:55 The phrase "Other non-normative documents may be created such as:" should be "updated or created" to allow updating "Implementing ATAG 2.0" or UAAG 2.0. 16:25:21 +1 16:25:37 Greg: at the moment it says only create new ones. 16:25:42 AWK: Ok. 16:25:47 q? 16:26:56 TOPIC: Changing the working group name 16:27:21 AWK: Interested in people's opinion on the WG name?

Oh, yea, they have protocols etc. 16:29:51 DavidM: WCAG has a brand name there. 16:30:13 AWK: this decision is about the WG, not the guidelines name. 16:30:36 AWK: The naming could help with showing people we've broadened scope. 16:30:40 Josh: That could help. 16:30:43 WTAG?
