<janina> scribe: janina

jb: Many members seriously expect "incubation" work to be conducted only in Community Groups, even though W3C policy allows Working Groups to do it.
... Suggest avoiding the word to avoid confusion and unnecessary issues.

Standards coordination update: US, EU, China

<Judy> [JB: recommends referring to Silver work as incubation within a TF of the WG]

jb: Briefly ....
... In parallel to WCAG 2.1 and AU requirements, we're seeing U.S. Sec. 508 update
... Some advanced work on mobile a11y
... Europeans wanted assurance that 2.1 would encompass mobile a11y
... New work starting in China on several of their a11y standards
... We expect they may take up 2.0, and become involved in 2.1
