agendum 1. "Review pull request 57 https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/57/files?diff=split" taken up [from Wilco]
15:08:58 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: 2 pull requests remain
15:09:30 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Proposed wordsmithing from Romain
15:09:37 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Feedback looks good to me
15:10:27 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Romain reworded text of Implementation Validation
15:11:04 [MoeKraft]
MaryJo: Editorial, The last sentence should read, "the expected result"
15:11:33 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: updating pull request
15:11:59 [MoeKraft]
Romain: I didn't know what you meant by list of pointers and then I reread and found definition. Maybe use a cross link here
15:12:23 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Makes sense. Not sure of common practice. Is this something we should have as definition?
15:12:35 [MoeKraft]
Romain: Yes. This is common practice
15:12:51 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: We don't have a list of definitions currently
15:13:28 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Have pointer link to selected item section
15:13:39 [rdeltour]
clarification: I think bikeshed (the tool used for edting the documet) has facility for definition + cross-ref links, but I don't konw if it's a best practice in WCAG docs
15:14:07 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Ok, I will make that change.
15:15:23 [MoeKraft]
Romain: We have link to selected item and we should also have a link to the outcome section for consistency

making these rules interchangable, organizations are better document and share their method of testing.
15:17:48 [Wilco]
By making these rules interchangable, organizations are better document and share their method of testing.
15:17:49 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Agrees with Romain's feedback regarding grammatical updates.
15:18:13 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: What should this be? How should this sentence read?
15:18:44 [Wilco]
By making these rules interchangable, organizations can better document and share their method of testing.
15:18:57 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Added the word "can"
15:19:46 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: What about interchangeable?
15:20:29 [MoeKraft]
Romain: I think of it as being able to be ingested by different things. I'm not sure interchangeable is correct. Rather a shared or common format.
15:21:31 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Rules are about setting policy and one way of doing that. If you want your QA team to manage executability, automated, semi-automated, manually, if they develop rules they use this format and another organization can pick it up.
15:21:39 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Can be shared with another organization
15:22:31 [shadi]

15:22:32 [MoeKraft]
Romain: If we think of ruleset for a given tool, the implementation is not interchangeable.
15:22:39 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Correct but the document is

15:24:04 [MoeKraft]
Moe: How about adoptable?
15:24:52 [Wilco]
By adopting a standardized rule description format, organizations are better document and share their method of testing.
15:25:38 [MoeKraft]
The Accessibility Conformance Testing Framework 1.0 (ACT Framework 1.0) is a specification designed to harmonize how accessibility rule are described for automated test tools, and how test procedures are written for quality assurance testing. By making these rules interchangable, organizations are better document and share their method of testing.

15:26:10 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: "defined format" Makes this easier to harmonize approach
15:27:23 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: "By writing these tests in a defined format organizations are better able to document and share their method of testing"
15:28:02 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: I like it. Works for me.
15:28:17 [MoeKraft]
Moe: Would we drop the last sentence?
15:28:55 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: How about "A standardized format is the first step in developing a harmonized approach for accessibility conformance testing."
15:29:20 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Is this too defined of a statement? We are looking for 1 ultimate test method. Do we need to soften it?
15:29:35 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: As long as you write the tests in a defined format then okay.
15:30:01 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: Enabling is better

agendum 3. "Review current editor's draft https://w3c.github.io/wcag-act/act-framework.html" taken up [from Wilco]
15:35:13 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: Starting with "Because" is not good.
15:35:21 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: Too many hyphens.
15:36:02 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: 6.1.3 Outcome, should have hyphen in cantTell
15:36:58 [MoeKraft]
`cantTell`: It is unclear whether or not the Test Target passes of rails the test
15:37:10 [MoeKraft]
Shadi: This is from earl.
15:37:21 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Let's use titles instead. Looks nicer.

15:38:06 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: It's nice to read the document.
15:39:47 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: Would be good to see document every time
15:39:55 [MoeKraft]
Romain: Continuous updates
15:41:59 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: How about a retrospective every 3-4 weeks?
15:42:12 [MoeKraft]
MaryJo: This is a good middle ground
15:43:27 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Clearly something we have to do right now. Make sure the document fits together.
15:44:03 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Over the next week or so, Moe and I have a lot of work to get this reading well.
15:44:23 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: 6.1 is the only section under 6. Do we drop 6.1?
15:45:37 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Make 6.1 = 6.1, Make 6.1.1 =6.2, Make 6.1.2 = 6.3
15:46:15 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: Makes sense to me.
15:47:09 [MoeKraft]
I will create a draft that includes today's PRs.
15:47:53 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: 5.1 "must be a CSS selector" sounds too harsh. Could be XPath
15:48:22 [MoeKraft]
Alistair: How about? "When it's available, use this syntax..
15:49:05 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: We just need some time to review this.

We can close Issue #53

Close #36
15:51:11 [MoeKraft]
Wilco: Many can be closed. Cleans up nicely.
