jo: couple of items from last week.

Moving ARIA2 technique from 3.3.3 and putting in 3.3.2; adding ARIA21 to 3.3.3 #246

<Srini> Thanks

<Joshue108> https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/246

jo: Two issues. One part agreed, other not.
... . First part seems okay. move aria2 from 3.3.3 to 3.3.2. But not add aria21 to 3.3.3. Seems general consensus.

awk: thx.

<DavidMacDonald> +1 to Jon... both

<bbailey> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/GithubIssuesNov12016/results#xpull189

jo: Move aria2 from 3.3.3 to 3.3.2

<Joshue108> +1 moving ARIA2 technique 3.3.3 to 3.3.2

<marcjohlic> +1 on moving ARIA2 from 3.3.3 to 3.3.2

jf: to say not valide on 3.3.3 an incomplete truth. primarily req'd on the label or instruction, but...should apply 3.3.2. But as technique not incorrect to have on 3.3.3 as well.

Srini: Agree

<Zakim> AWK, you wanted to say that the reason that this was not fully agreed on (I think) is that ARIA-required doesn't necessarily result in a visual label

<Srini> Andrew, you have a great point.

AK: just putting aria required doesn't meake a visual change. have to include visual change, where 3.3.2 would come into play. Wld not coutn as label or instruction.

jo: html5 required atribute discussion last week.
... Advisory technique

ma: 3.3.2 as advisory technique. it is reinforcing the visual with arai

bb: Mike c just resolved issue, as additional technique

jo: useful in 3.3.3.

<Srini> JO, HOW WOULD THAT BE?

<Zakim> bbailey, you wanted to ask if the advisory vs sufficient question was resolved last week?

<Zakim> AWK, you wanted to say that if ARIA2 is just reinforcing the visual for 3.3.2 then that is the reason that it should not be in there.

<Srini> sorry for caps

jf: discussion around aria-required, visual indication. already different how present themselves to user. don't know if muddying the water with that.

aK: Aria required doesn't result in visual affect, then not sure why we'd put it in 3.3.2. If there is an html5 visual requirement would support adding it to 3.3.2.
... then a question of accessibility support. If something done productively with visual would meet 3.3.2.

<steverep> Can the default browser behavior be undone with CSS?

jf: aria will only result in visual element if you put it there. only get feedback when error and get response when you have screen reader.
... labels and instructions require you to input.

<Srini> Even if aria2 doesn't provide visual effect, it can still be relevant to 3.3.2 and not 3.3.3

ak: if does show visual, then 3.3.2, otherwise not.

<Ryladog> +1 to Andrew comment, it must be visual to support 3.3.2

jo: sufficient technique, advisory technique in some cases. but have to be careful.
... Live with advisory technique?

<AWK> I don't support ARIA2 as advisory for 3.3.2

ma: yes. but not an advisory in 3.3.3. 3.3.3 is an error suggestion so should be instructions. looking for consistency.

ja: use this technique and use this technique. Combine them.

jo: put this in as a sufficient technique if you do as "and"?

ja: as an example, under 3.3.2 say "and the following".

jf: more accurate

<AWK> +1 to Katie's comment

katie: whether advisory of sufficient rationale should be the same. advisory not suppored as much. if not sufficient, then not advisory. not a fan of "plus".

jo: not as robust.

ja: reason why has to be sufficient. if allows you to meet on condition can't rely on it. if advisory may be part of the solution. Understand people may not understand that have to combine, but we do note it.

<AWK> Criteria for Advisory Techniques: http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/understanding-techniques.html#ut-understanding-techniques-advisory-head

jo: could add aria or html as part of sufficient techniques.

<Zakim> AWK, you wanted to make a suggestion

jo: do boolean technique as sufficient w/ reference to arai or html as advisory technique.

ak: to clear this issue, not move to 3.3.2. if someone puts together proposal for "and" we can consider it then.
... work can take place outside of call.

ma: will do it.

<Joshue108> ACTION: MikeGower to come up with suggested Boolean Technique for 3.3.2 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/11/15-wai-wcag-minutes.html#action01]

me: ma is mg.

Making G53 more generic to meet 2.4.4 #242

<Joshue108> https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/242

<bbailey> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/GithubIssuesNov12016/results#xpull175

mg: before we move. aria21 to 3.3.3. will incorporate for feedback.

jo: easier if they are separate.
... slight name change for G53 to more generic.

RESOLUTION: Mike Gower to work on updates to Issue 246 in a new issue

<Joshue108> https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20161007/G53

mg: ibm checklist trying to take general techniques. 2.4.4 does not have a general idea for linking. odd situation where g53 talks about linking text with preceding sentence. Wanted to capture programmit aspect.

<jon_avila> Agree with James. We have a technique for each way we allow.

jn: not in favor. things allowed in link context are constrained. can't just say programmatic. have to be specific. in other situations are specific.

jo: need for specificity.

jn: yes

<AWK> +1 to James's comment

ja: have a technique elsewhere. agree with james.

mg: does have a list of specific technologies. just want to put clarity on #8.

jo: don't see.

mg: sufficient techs in 2.4.4. Eight is listed there.General technique then techniques that support it are common.

jo: struggling to see net gain. sounds like makes sense.

<Joshue108> but that's because it uses a virtual cursor

dm: context on when came up with it. struggling around link text in link lists, without context in jaws. john slatin found could read paragraph if focus remains on link. can move to link list, grab focus. nobody ever does it in my experience.
... enclosing in sentence doesn't really solve this. hope to fix for 2.1

ak: mg said that in list of links #6 is enclosing sentence, #8 is programmatically determined. Should we be putting #6...

mg: actually a paragraph tag. sentence is not programmatically determinable with current tech.

<jon_avila> I would be fine with moving g53 down to item 8

jo: depends on AT. virtual cursor to walk the dom.

<AWK> Propose leaving it as it is.

<JF> +1 to AWK

jo: struggling to see net gain.

ak: leave as it is.
... to david's point can address it in 2.1 or silver. Not sure there is a net gain. feels a little weird.

jo: leave with the weird unless net gain.

<AWK> It is hard to have a general technique that covers programmatically determined link text since programmatic determination varies by technology

gm: in terms of net gain is clarity. move g53 under #8. Wanted example of determinable. trying to meet this sc. no way to point to meeting the sc.

jo; would be helpful in 2.1. for now let's leave it.

jn: if not addressing it, won't reopen it.

jo: objections for not making change?
... none. will just leave this one.

dm: dont' have to use techniques to meet sc.

RESOLUTION: Not accept changes in Issue 242

<JF> +1 to David - Techniques are always just guidance

Include H90 as a technique for 1.3.1 Info and Relationships #240

Working group review of ACT Framework Requirements + DPUB request https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/ACT_DPUB_Review_Nov_2016/

<Joshue108> https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/240

mg: had a whole list to bring up for IBM checklist.

jo: consensus is that it is already covered in 1.3.1.

jf: question is whether h90 is covered in 1.3.2. It's backward. already covered, but not how the choices in survey were presented.

jo: do you want to add h90 in 1.3.1

jf: Sure, but already covered.

jo: i was one who dragged in 3.3.2. no need to add?

<AWK> The question is - "should H90 be listed as a sufficient technique for 1.3.1?"

<jon_avila> No because it alone it is not sufficient just like ARIA 2

mg: purpose to make presentaitons programmatically determinable, if you use symbol then have to have it inside the legend tag to be pd. people with visual issues asterisk will be between label and input, so not pd.

gm: if someone fails to do this would fail.

alastair: have to convey it programmatically in other ways.

<Joshue108> https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H44.html

ak: mike brought up h44, compaer it to h90. h90 is 3.3.2, h44 is 3.3.1. very similar. big difference is procedure more beefed up, takes you through the steps. can see the argument for sufficient for 1.3.1 but only if it's beefed up?

<Zakim> JF, you wanted to refute Marc's claim: <label for="input" aria-required="true">Name</label>*

jf: want to reiterate what JN said. put asterisk inside the label, so meeting requirement.
... often will say required="true" in aria, works better.

<jamesn> (also the trend is away from putting asterisks on required fields - and to label optional fields instead in some way - not asterisks of course)

ja: when took survey hard to understand what we were respondign to. in past person putting issue put in proposed response. would be helpful if proposal were clearer.

jo: would you like h90 as a technique for 3.3.1.

ja: would have to make it more robust.

jo: mg would you like to work on it?

ak: not being punitive... :^)

jo: does anyone want to take it on.

mg; would take on h44

ak: comgning h90 into h44?

mg: yes

<jon_avila> recommend not to combine h44 and h90

mg: will go back to look at it.

RESOLUTION: to keep #240 open

CFCs, commenting and participation.

Silver Stakeholder Submission form

<jeanne> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2016OctDec/0434.html

<AWK> Submission form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7jxkMzK4HbzK0cyyBnkv3cKFJL_ahIwIcbHao7qOZLyDy-w/viewform

jeanne: email to wcag list about stakeholder form for silver.
... one of key things is identifying large group who will be stakeholders (for first phase: research).
... ppl who outside of wcag, who are thought leaders, developers, etc. who use silver and are influential in how industry going. wanted to invite members of wcag, then general public for suggestions.
... stakeholders not joining task force. TF will reach out to them for guidance and advice. send surveys to htem, interview, ask to keep record how using wcag, meeting in december to put together all these names adn their role in industry.
... stakeholder map. a balanced group of people who will cover all aspects of how ppl use silver now and in future.

jo: what do you need from the group? just an update?

<jeanne> Form <- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7jxkMzK4HbzK0cyyBnkv3cKFJL_ahIwIcbHao7qOZLyDy-w/viewform

jeanne: want group to suggest stakeholders. here's the form!

ak: if ppl know ppl who are developers, etc. concerened with a11y fill out list so we have broad outreach.

jeanne: Thx to laura. Need disability organizations. Want to reach out beyond WAI. rare disabilities, ppl who we haven't reached out to before. As well as existing.

jo: okay with going out to lists?

jeanne: wait a week so we can provide context (what silver is).

jo: get people's attention.

jeanne: will put in effort this week. want feedback--take a test drive. hopefully will send link out to group, distribute it broadly.

<Zakim> bbailey, you wanted to ask if I should prompt contacts at DOJ, DOT, etc.

bb: if you want to hear from federal ppl.

jeanne: absolutley. have policy makers as term.

makoto: chairman, so should I distribute to committe?

jeanne: Yes would suggest oen or two ppl Can be organizaitons, doesn't have to be ppl.

Makoto: will do.

jeanne: international organizations. don't want to be us-centric

<AWK> Korean group = NIA

jemma: should include NIA.

bb: tried to fill out for access board. didn't work well for organization, seems best for individuals.

jeanne: name field should be name or organization.

ak: form does not have any required fields.
... silver group would still need info.

<Zakim> bbailey, you wanted to say form is not well suited to organization

jeanne: could put name of organization and person for contact.

jf: reiterate what jeanne said, international is important. Jonathan hassel from UK, for example. need international feedback.

jo: moving on

ACT stuff and DPUB

<Joshue108> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/ACT_DPUB_Review_Nov_2016/

<AWK> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/ACT_DPUB_Review_Nov_2016/results

jo: will have to resurvey. May not met needs of dpub working group.
... frame what you need from us.

<Joshue108> https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/16

<Joshue108> Request to consider inclusion of accessibility metadata

<jemma> In terms of stakeholder group in Korea, NIA(National Information Society Agency (NIA), http://eng.nia.or.kr/english/eng_nia.asp) will be interested in the work.

<tzviya> DPUB IG published a note mentioning metadata as well: https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-accessibility/#discoverability

<jemma> my link is about stakeholder submission form agenda.

mattg: meta data has com to the fore in dpub. from IMS access for all metadata. for the WWW. as we're developing our own accessibility content. need to allow discovery in bookstores.

<DavidMacDonald> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Post_WCAG_2_Issues_Sorted

mg: is this valuable? should bit be guidance for accessibility metadata? don't have strong opionion of hwo to integreate with wcag.

tzviya: coming from many areas, assessments, digital pub interest group. wld be appreciated win web community to discover what is accessible. if website has captioning, if there is flashing content, for example.

katie: an extension we tried to get into 2.0. dublin core. need an expanded version for content accessibility, component accessibility. May be hard to handle for 2.1, but need to identify accessibility or alternative content that is accessible.
... now have support in pub community.

ak: agree. tremendous utility in having available. My question is what actually exists in tooling. concern that put in "must use metadata" would apply to all web content. have to either scope it down. conforming alternative may have to include what it includes that is different.
... may be silver or 2.1.

<laura> If it is for conformance, would ACT TF be involved?

jo: my concersn are similar. dpub may be special use cases. how content is defined or packaged. does dpubl require special consideration.

jf: touched on it. maturity of tools. are we seeing a strong push to meet reality rather than aspiration. all for metadata, but make a sc seems too soon. not aware of tools taht are supporting a11y metadata.

mattg: search engines are picking up on it. can do a custom serach on google.

jf: if ppl not doing it or if difficult to do, question whether it should be mandated.

dm: was at tpac and there was an issue filed back in the day about metadata. something we've wanted to do for some time. 5 months ago revisited issue. don't really know what schema it is, or what is being done.
... should survey the field, see what is going on...actually agree with jf, which is remarkable...
... see if there's anything in next two years, otherwise silver in 4 years.

<Zakim> tzviya, you wanted to ask if best practices would be preferred over requirement

tzviya: schema dot 2 is being used by search engines. don't need a requirement for dpub, best practice would be fine. expect to write in next year, will have examples.
... would love to see as best practice. all done in github. would appreciate having input.

alistar: will have to look at pwa, can include some techniques.

jo: packaged content. before moving forward dpub would like wcag to help, reach out to matt and tzviya. don't want to push entirely down the road. cases we can start to look at now.

katie: shold implement waht we talked about. work as wll as can idpf (?). start the best practices component in 2.1.

wilco: also looking at evaluations, sounds very similar.

jo: encourage everyone to talk off line.

<Ryladog> As well as supporting our new Consortium partner IDPF

jo: can you come back next week?

<Zakim> AWK, you wanted to set context for the DPUB requests for the WCAG people

t: yes.

<DavidMacDonald> Can the DPUB folks pop emails to the list so we can contact you etc...

ak: just wanted to set context that these items for dpub we are in position should be evaluating whether they should be in 2.1 or not. may say yes, or deal with techniqus or understanding chagnes.
... at the point where we are making these decisions.

<Rachael> Have a good week.

bye all

<laura> bye.

<Joshue108> trackbot, end meeting
