Call frequency for this time slot https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/alt-call-times/results

<scribe> scribe: jeanne

Results of survey: Four were happy with the time, one wanted a different day

AC: I will follow up with Lisa who has a conflict with the call

AM: This works for me, except for August when I have conflicts.

AC: How frequently would you like this call? Some said weekly, others said every two weeks.
... we will see the momentum, I think it will be every two weeks, except when I am on holiday at the end of this month

Update on WCAG.next / Silver

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/silver/wiki/Main_Page

<alastairc> Jeanne: Various links, starting with wiki. Working since 2016, tasked to beginn the prelim-work on next major version. Aiming to be more broad, so not 'wcag 3', been using silver ("AG") as the working name.

<alastairc> Jeanne: Been doing research, the wiki page links to all of those. In March, at CSUN, we did a design sprint. Had 27 top-people from accessibility, CEOs, designers, devs, people from policy, lawyers, and PwD.

https://www.w3.org/community/silver/2018/04/23/suggestions-of-silver-design-sprint/

<alastairc> Jeanne: Gave them all the problems from the research, and said: go solve them. Many good ideas coming from that. Report came from that. It is quite long, but there's a shorter blog post.

<alastairc> Jeanne: Anyone can join the community group, just needs a free W3C account, so please do join.

<alastairc> Jeanne: Would like people from various locations to discuss things themselves, in their location/language. We'll be testing prototypes soon, that's our current work. Making & testing them.

https://w3c.github.io/silver/requirements/index.html

<alastairc> Jeanne: Also working on the requirements document for Silver, which is what we've been discussing in the group.

https://w3c.github.io/silver/

<alastairc> Jeanne: Would be great to talk about this in Australia, which is the github 'repo', which has the links & prototypes.

Process for techniques and understanding

<scribe> scribe: jeanne

<alastairc> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Wcag21-techniques#List_of_Techniques

AC: We have published 2.1, every success criterion has an Understanding document
... we have 70 Techniques to write. We have 10 in process. \
... there are many to choose from, we would like help in working on them
... color contrast: how to meet. One of the techniques could be about contrasting colors in a pie chart.

AM: Good timing. I just worked on the practice of going through the Understanding document and working on the easiest way to test it.

<alastairc> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Wcag21-techniques#Creating_Technique_documents

AM: I'll have a proper look at it next week.
... we have a template for the sections. Once you get used to it, it takes about 20 minutes to write a first draft for the Technique. Then the group will comment on it.
... in Github, create your own branch tech-(technique name)-(your name)
... write your technique, then create a pull request.
... put in an explanation including the success criterion it is for
... a handful of people will comment on it, then put it in the weekly survey

<alastairc> https://github.com/w3c/wcag

AM: it is an easier process than writing a Technical Report document, so if anyone finds an error we can just update it.

questions

AM: Starting July 1 I have some designated time for W3C groups
... I also participate in EO

<alastairc> Questions: AGWG Chairs <group-ag-chairs@w3.org>

AM: I am excited to have some Australia-friendly timing
