16:16:51 [david-macdonald]
"All Success Criteria must also be testable. This is important since otherwise it would not be possible to determine whether a page met or failed to meet the Success Criteria. The Success Criteria can be tested by a combination of machine and human evaluation as long as it is possible to determine whether a Success Criterion has been satisfied with a high level of confidence." https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/conformance.html#[CUT]
16:16:59 [gowerm]
Lisa: for #9 we want to move forward so 'readily-available' is future restrictive. "and assistive technologies" is restricitive. Some COGA not using ATs.

Q+
16:19:27 [gowerm]
Alastair: overlap concerns him most (link posted). If done to letter, means we can't do SC especially COGA and LVTF. If anything is an update, then it is an overlap.
16:19:51 [AWK]
Alastair is talking about #8?
16:20:24 [Detlev]
+1 to Alastair
16:20:35 [LisaSeeman]
+1
16:20:52 [jon_avila]
some of the lV and COGA criteria have overlap. If we can't change the existing SC then a new would SC and therefore we could not introduce a beneficial SC
16:21:10 [Joshue108]
q?
16:21:30 [jon_avila]
Agree with Alistair - we either need to be able to modify SC or allow overlap

MichaelC, you wanted to say risky to depend on timelines that haven´t been met yet and to say #9 very much applies to SC
16:22:42 [AWK]
q+ to ask if a new SC that requires 400% enlargement would be regarded as overlap with the existing 200% requirement or not
16:22:58 [gowerm]
MichaelC: 9 is a critical part of the requirements. not just about techniques.
16:23:36 [Joshue108]
q+ to say what about where semantics don't exist for new techniques?
16:23:37 [LisaSeeman]
Q+

AWK: We don't need to put anything in about specs meeting working draft or CR. If you can meet it today, great. if you can't then it won't be sc or it will be at risk
16:39:08 [Ryladog__]
+1 to that statement, just because something is hard, that does not mean we should address it
16:39:14 [gowerm]

16:42:37 [gowerm]
Wayne: we need to be aware that the current paradigm does not meet certain needs. 2 kinds of data: mutable data, that can be changed, and post-process data that can't be customized. (i.e., printer). Latter cannot be addressed by WCAG.
16:42:49 [Detlev]
A big issue still seems to be if minor changes on exisiting SCs would be possible to reduce confusion - say, renaming 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) -> 1.4.3 Text Contrast (Minimum) so we can have a new one for graphics / icons that separates well

16:44:56 [Joshue108]
q+
16:45:39 [gowerm]
AWK: with WCAG being technology independent, how can we reference a technology standard?
16:45:50 [alastairc]
AWK / Lisa: The issue is between not changing 2.0, and re-writing current SC. We do need to square that - either we can re-write current ones, or we can't and Lisa would need to re-write some to make them additive.
16:45:53 [Detlev]
q+
16:46:10 [MichaelC]
q+
16:47:02 [MichaelC]
q+ to say we care about *implementations existing* not *specification maturity* though they inter-relate
16:47:10 [gowerm]
Lisa: cites ARIA as example of how "expose the role" could be included even though it didn't exist in HTML at the time of language drafting of 2.0
16:47:37 [gowerm]
AWK: you could expose the role circa 2008. ie. checkbox
16:47:58 [bruce_bailey]
Here is the note to SC 4.1.2: This success criterion is primarily for Web authors who develop or script their own user interface components. For example, standard HTML controls already meet this success criterion when used according to specification.
16:48:10 [MichaelC]
q+ to say we need *some way* to exist of meeting a proposed SC, not necessarily the *preferred way*, that´s how we got stuff that related to ARIA before ARIA was finalized
16:48:19 [AWK]
ack j
16:50:02 [gowerm]
Josh: if something that can be demonstrated with a user agent, then it is readily available.
16:51:37 [alastairc]
Detlev: yes, adjustments to text of current (e.g. Contrast to Text contrast) would help, but I'm happy leaving that to a later stage. Current issue is whether we can only write new SCs, and my example to the list was for https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/51 which moves an AAA to AA, and modifies (slightly) the text.
16:52:14 [Detlev]

yes, I recall that
17:04:50 [gowerm]
AWK: Some discussion on call and on list. No perfect solution right now. Until we get clarity on #8 (overlap) we can't make decision on numbering.
17:05:07 [alastairc]
+1 we need to decide on whether we can re-write current SC, then decide numbering

17:08:32 [gowerm]
MichaelC: we shouldn't assign numbers to SC right now. Has no preference for numbering scheme. "how to meet" Quick document went through major changes in last year. Some people involved in that are hoping that will be the primary landing point. If that happens, people will be sorting, so consistent numbering isn't so important.
17:08:37 [Joshue108]
+1 to being open to the possibility of re-working current SCs before considering numbering etc
17:09:12 [bruce_bailey]
+1 to what MC is saying for QuickRef ability to support 2.1 and about SC having meaningful handles and more arbitrary numbers
17:09:16 [gowerm]
MichaelC: suggests using 'handles' instead of numbers.

17:12:55 [gowerm]
Katie: it's fine that numbers will be out of order. we should absolutely not change the nubmers or text of existing SC. This is not 3.0 where we can re-arrange everything.
17:13:08 [JF]
+! to Katie's point, this is a dot-release of an existing standard
17:13:31 [kirkwood]

q+ to talk about issue 51
17:18:30 [Glenda]
JF, on 1.4.3, that original SC is only about text…so adding color contrast for icons, and visual focus indicators is similar not not a “child” of the original 1.4.3 (it is a proposed NEW SC).

bruce_bailey, you wanted to argue that renumbering is less concern than only increasing accessiblity requirements
17:20:01 [gowerm]
Bruce: numbering decision should be last. It is secondary to maintaining the backwards compatibility.
17:20:45 [gowerm]
Bruce: numbering is irrelevant since gov't does date-specific references
17:21:28 [gowerm]
Bruce: some rewording is going to need to be done to bring some existing SC into agreement.

17:33:27 [gowerm]
Josh: Parting thought: the group has to consider that SC may have to change going into 2.1.
17:33:53 [Mike_Elledge]
Was just going to suggest that we indicate where SC have been revised or added to make it easier for ppl to identify the changes. :^)
