- 15:15:48 [Mike_Pluke]
- LV TF's proposals started at 1600%, so already signiticantly down from that.
- 15:16:52 [Mike_Pluke]
- Michael Gower's comments raised concern regarding mobile.
- 15:17:31 [Mike_Pluke]
- Michael also sees no benefit in being A rather than AA as everyone uses A and AA and not just A

- q+ to go over my survey comments
- 15:22:41 [AWK]
- === what is a fixed spatial layout?
- 15:23:17 [jon_avila]
- The menu could collapse and expand
- 15:24:01 [Mike_Pluke]
- Alex asked questions related to horizontal menu bar or ribbon at the top
- 15:24:27 [Greg]
- Alex, I would suggest menu bars wrap to multiple lines, like other content.
- 15:24:58 [AWK]
- ack ala
- 15:24:58 [Zakim]
- alastairc, you wanted to talk about this
- 15:25:00 [Mike_Pluke]
- Andrew is after an answer to what is a "fixed spatial layout" referred to in Alex's question
- 15:25:43 [gowerm]
- +1 agreed: going above 200%, it really doesn't matter what the target is.
- 15:26:14 [Mike_Pluke]
- Alistair concludes that if you go beyond 200% it doesn't matter much if you go to 300% or 400%. 400% difference between old iPhones and a laptop.
- 15:26:57 [Mike_Pluke]
- Linearization to help LV users who tend to override layouts.
- 15:28:10 [Mike_Pluke]
- Alistair discussed A versus AA. Confusing because of not wanting to change the current SC. Lose any 2-d information when linearization.
- 15:28:59 [Mike_Pluke]
- The current resize text SC is a good fallback for things that go in the exception.
- 15:29:34 [Mike_Pluke]
- Making one a higher level than the other would mean re-writing the existing one.
- 15:29:55 [Mike_Pluke]
- The 400% is easier to test than tests related to reflow.
- 15:30:11 [AWK]
- agenda+ ACT TF Update
- 15:30:27 [Mike_Pluke]
- Dispute over whether responsive content sites lose content when reflowed.
- 15:30:31 [Zakim]
- AWK, you asked to be pinged at this time
- 15:31:15 [Mike_Pluke]
- Decided that adding an exception for mobile is not related to the content.
- 15:32:27 [AWK]
- === Alex also concerned about wide menubar paradigm in this case
- 15:32:29 [Mike_Pluke]
- Alex felt that his answer related to what constitutes a fixed layout has not been answered.

- Electronic Health Records requires on Level A in the US
- 15:34:36 [jon_avila]
- yes
- 15:34:45 [Alex_and_Crystal]
- @alastairc, no I have not read it. But how does that address the questions?
- 15:34:53 [jon_avila]
- until 2021
- 15:35:14 [AWK]
- ack jasongw
- 15:35:17 [alastairc]
- @alex_and_crystal See the bit starting: The "fixed spatial layout" does need better definition and examples (in the understanding document), which would include:
- 15:35:22 [Mike_Pluke]
- Canada is not yet AA, but will be by 2021.
- 15:36:10 [Bruce_Bailey]
- Ontario started with Single A though, yes?
- 15:36:20 [AWK]
- ack greg
- 15:36:20 [Zakim]
- Greg, you wanted to go over my survey comments
- 15:36:35 [Mike_Pluke]
- Jason suggests that 2.1 may be a standard for new or substantially re-written content.
- 15:36:40 [gowerm]
- And remember that that is WCAG 2.0 targets. If we made Resize Text A for 2.1, that would not affect any jurisdictions current guidance
- 15:37:06 [Bruce_Bailey]
- There are a few real-world example that demonstrate that Level A and Level AA are being used separately
- 15:37:32 [Mike_Pluke]
- Greg Lowney re his comments: Agrees with Alex that more difficult for sights that already have large text - maybe an exception is required.
- 15:37:48 [jamesn]
- how about zoom until your text is 64px size (for example)
- 15:37:50 [gowerm]
- @Bruce_Bailey, agreed, but again, those are WCAG 2.0. If we move something in 2.1, that doesn't affect any current jurisdiction
- 15:38:00 [AWK]
- AWK: for a wide menu I'll add that the developer would have a variety of options, from adding a single menu button that then exposes the list of top-level menu items, to adding a "more"-type icon to show the next set of menu items, to wrapping the menu.
- 15:38:21 [Mike_Pluke]
- Greg Lowney: The role of native controls. The content of a field may be wider than the visible screen and may need scrolling.
- 15:38:46 [adam_solomon]
- q+
- 15:39:04 [AWK]
- === what is the role of the UA for web content? Implication for mobile UA....
- 15:39:14 [Mike_Pluke]
- Greg wanted Clarification on the role of web-based user agents. Clarify what is required of them.
- 15:39:37 [Mike_Pluke]
- zakim , next item
- 15:39:46 [Alex_and_Crystal]
- @alastairc, thanks for that. I am looking for something along this line. Of course, we need definition text, not just examples.
- 15:39:48 [AWK]
- zakim, clear queue
- 15:39:48 [Zakim]
- I don't understand 'clear queue', AWK
- 15:39:48 [adam_solomon]
- native controls should come under the exception of spatial layout
- 15:39:54 [alastairc]
- Just to note, I've answered most things, but I do need to go back and address comments from Greg (Lowney) and JakeAbma

- 15:40:32 [alastairc]
- @Alex_and_Crystal sure, does that need to be in the SC text or understanding?
- 15:41:11 [Bruce_Bailey]
- @gowerm, I am just saying it feels premature to me to give up on A/AA/AAA for 2.1 at the moment...

- 15:43:11 [JF]

- 15:43:24 [Mike_Pluke]
- Lisa: The answer is that the 1500 word list has to be publicly listed.

- I would like to know if it is allowed for the content author provide the list of 1500 words they used.
- 15:53:41 [Mike_Pluke]
- Jason Concerns about internationalization because of lack of word lists in different languages. Different vocabularies used in each language. Also still issues with different application domains.
- 15:54:54 [Mike_Pluke]
- Lisa suggests that if we don't get the word list idea in, there won't be a significant benefit for many users.

- q-
- 15:56:40 [Mike_Pluke]
- Lisa suggests that need to separate concerns regarding how the word list concept can be implemented versus those that think that there is no value in the concept at all
- 15:57:29 [jon_avila]
- seems like instructions would include words like checkbox, radio button, button, drop down. So we'd need to make sure common core words include all control names.
- 15:58:24 [Mike_Pluke]
- Lisa argued that after 1500 words, the extra words are relatively obscure. Should allow general communication with this number of words. Additional context specific word lists can be added to this.

- also does not work internationaly
- 16:02:24 [Mike_Pluke]
- Mike Gower thinks that this is an important topic. Wondered how Headings and Labels is of a similar level of generality compared to other SCs got into WCAG 2.0.
- 16:02:32 [Mike_Pluke]
- Also questions why reading-level could not be used - never heard the full rationale against.
- 16:02:33 [lisa]
- words can be easy to read and not simple, such as the word "mode"
- 16:02:34 [gowerm]
- "Reading level is not helpful" is not a helpful explanation
- 16:02:59 [gowerm]
- right, and "mode" at a elementary school level would not be on the list
- 16:03:11 [Mike_Pluke]
- Adam solomon that the 1500 word list would come from the body acquiring the system.
- 16:04:22 [AWK]
- === concern about internationalization - do we know?
- 16:04:24 [Mike_Pluke]
- Question to Lisa - is this cross-language threshold?
- 16:04:45 [Ryladog]
- Interesting comment from Adam Solomon: "that the 1500 word list would come from the body acquiring the system."
- 16:06:07 [Mike_Pluke]

- @lisa This is the note from Reading Level. "According to the Open Society Mental Health Initiative, the concept of Easy to Read cannot be universal, and it will not be possible to write a text that will suit the abilities of all people with literacy and comprehension problems. Using the clearest and simplest language appropriate is highly desirable, but the WCAG Working Group could not find...
- 16:06:57 [gowerm]
- ...a way to test whether this had been achieved. The use of reading level is a way to introduce testability into a Success Criterion that encourages clear writing. Supplementary content can be a powerful technique for people with some classes of cognitive disability. "

- Alex - a hammer looking for a nail situation. Comprehension is a complex issue - every time you draw a line there is a significant cost to things like freedom of speech.

- 16:12:16 [Zakim]
- agendum 3 was just opened, Mike_Pluke
- 16:12:32 [Kathy]
- Several points of clarification: -Target does not mean size of the link or button. Can have padding or spacing around the interactive control for the touch target area -Increasing the touch target size, does not necessarily mean larger keyboard focus indicator – see Patrick's mock up- http://codepen.io/patrickhlauke/pen/aBNREe -Increasing target size to 44x44 CSS pixels can be accomplished using CSS using pointer events and does not require scripting

- https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/60#issuecomment-301830356
- 16:13:56 [Mike_Pluke]
- Kathy clarifying that 44 pixel does not mean the focus indicators etc. get bigger - just the target size
- 16:13:58 [jamesn]
- q+
- 16:14:47 [Mike_Pluke]
- So really a CSS change to accomplish this. Proposals that should not just be links, so example also includes blocks of text
- 16:15:48 [davidmacdonald]
- Option 1 +1 exception for links in blocks of text
- 16:15:55 [steverep]
- q+ to correct that it is not guaranteed that the visual indicator does not expand
- 16:16:21 [AWK]
- ack james
- 16:16:27 [Mike_Pluke]
- 3 options described
- 16:17:00 [Bruce_Bailey]
- +1 for Option 1: Inline: The target is a text link in a block of text.
- 16:18:13 [Mike_Pluke]
- James Nurthern can do padding using CSS only, but that is inflexible. If change extra size of the padding to suit the circumstances cannot be done entirely in CSS.
- 16:18:24 [JF]
- native controls today (<button>, <select>, etc.) will all fail this SC out of the box

- 16:19:03 [Ryladog]
- +1 for Option 1: Inline: The target is a text link in a block of text.
- 16:19:05 [Bruce_Bailey]
- I don't object to exception for In-Page (The target is a text link where the destination is on the same page), but where did that come from?
- 16:19:10 [JF]
- Q+
- 16:19:31 [Mike_Pluke]
- Steve Repsher - visual focus indicator expands and overlaps the words?
- 16:19:35 [AWK]
- ack JF
- 16:19:37 [Bruce_Bailey]
- q+ to ask if full-screen interactives (every pixel is a touch point) fail this?
- 16:19:48 [jon_avila]
- so it sounds like you are talking about NVDA's focus ring plug-in?
- 16:20:09 [Kathy]
- yes I think it is NVDA focus ring
- 16:20:39 [Mike_Pluke]
- John - if start doing reflow you will have 2 links overlapping, and the second link will overlap the first - making it much smaller such that it will fail
- 16:20:47 [jon_avila]
- agree with John -- I think we should just exempt inline interactive content as z-index overlap will be issues
- 16:20:50 [AWK]
- === concern about overlapping items creating a smaller target for overlapped item
- 16:21:04 [AWK]
- === impact on native controls?

- Bruce_Bailey, you wanted to ask if full-screen interactives (every pixel is a touch point) fail this?
- 16:21:08 [Mike_Pluke]
- John has real concerns that everything out there is going to fail
- 16:21:39 [Mike_Pluke]
- Bruce - does something like Google maps will fail?
- 16:22:12 [Detlev]
- Can we have a vote on acceptance of excluding targets in blocks of text?
- 16:22:16 [Alex_and_Crystal]
- q+
- 16:22:20 [Kathy]
- Option 1: Inline: The target is a text link in a block of text. Option 2: Inline: The target is in a block of text.
- 16:22:27 [Mike_Pluke]
- Kathy - No as the interactive targets are essential
- 16:23:01 [alastairc]
- I'd prefer option 2, followed by 3.
- 16:23:03 [Mike_Pluke]
- Not worrying about in-line items in a line of text is one possible exception.

- 16:23:46 [Mike_Pluke]
- Alex - have you looked at a target that is not a square or rectangle and the spacing between targets?
- 16:24:00 [AWK]
- === question about non-square targets
- 16:24:24 [Mike_Pluke]
- The studies done my the TF suggested that the actual target size is more important than the spacing
- 16:25:04 [AWK]
- q?
- 16:25:23 [jon_avila]
- Perhaps a radius of 22 css pixels from a centroid
- 16:26:05 [jon_avila]
- the finger contact though is translated as a point - so the shape of the finger is not relevant
- 16:26:14 [Mike_Pluke]
- Looked at the industry standards and these were all looking at square targets. Alex was actually more concerned with non-rectangular targets such as a circle.
- 16:26:17 [Detlev]
- q+
- 16:27:25 [Alex_and_Crystal]
- @jon_avila, but the accuracy changes over a radius, not square
- 16:27:37 [laura]
- Spacing metrics in the Adapting text SC are currently: line spacing 1.5, letter spacing 0.12 em, word spacing 0.16 em.
- 16:29:09 [Mike_Pluke]
- Kathy suggests a slider up the page may fall into the essential layout exception. Andrew concerned that this is a narrow control.

- ack de
- 16:30:06 [laura]
- may be some synergy between this SC and the adapting text SC.
- 16:30:14 [jon_avila]
- agree with Detlev

- Straw poll: Option 1: Inline: The target is a text link in a block of text. Option 2: Inline: The target is in a block of text. or 3=not sure/something else
