"Video has captions" should not list 1.2.2 as requirement (#621)

<Wilco> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/621

<Wilco> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/eac66b

Wilco: I think that was a mistake. There was no reasoning behind this.

Emma: Are you saying the atomic rule should not list the SC?

Wilco: Yes, because failing the atomic rule would not fail the SC. Only failing the composite

Emma: Would it be worth putting the SC in the background?

<Wilco> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/f51b46#background

Wilco: There is a link to the understanding document for the SC in the background

Anne: Would it make sense to link to the composite rule?

Emma, Carlos, Jey: +1

Wilco: That's a good idea. Anne to create an issue for this

Updates needed for Slack channel (#617)

Wilco: Kasper is suggesting something that is not closed off
... Not familiar with spectrum. Anyone has any experience with that?

Anne: If many of us are using slack then we might want to stick with it

Wilco: I agree with not having more apps than necessary
... We just need to promote it and start a new group with the new CG name

Emma: I think it is possible to rename it

<EmmaJ_PR> https://get.slack.help/hc/en-gb/articles/201663443-Change-your-workspace-or-org-name-and-URL

Wilco: I will dig into that. Anne, do you want to create a PR for creating the documentation?
... Should we create a "Getting involved" page?

Shadi: Yes, we should have one

Wilco: That would be the place to put this

Anne: The email for onboarding Jean-Yves included lots of what we need there
... I will create an issue

WIP: Positive proposals (#597)

<Wilco> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/597

https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/597

Audrey: This is still a work in progress. I'm trying to apply what I presented in issue #467

Wilco: Is this ready for review?

Audrey: Yes

Jean-Yves: We must be careful when rewriting so that we don't change the meaning

Wilco: I'll put a reviewers wanted label
... I like the direction where this is going

Emma: I like what Audrey's trying to do. We did similar stuff with our guidelines.

How many implementors does it take to harmonise a rule? (#577)

https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/577

Be more clear on the meaning of `attribute=value` (#584)

https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/584

<Wilco> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/584

Wilco: Kasper pointed out that we have been inconsistent in the way we refer to attributes and values
... Is that a problem and if so what do we do about it?

Jean-Yves: This is a problem for the attributes which take values from a list
... In these situations we should use a sentence like "the input element is in the text state"
... and describe how the element can be place in that state

<Wilco> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/73f2c2#applicability

Wilco: I think this example is the correct way to do it

Jean-Yves: Not quite so, because the type property is case-insensitive so HIDDEN instead of hidden would also be applicable
... We should say the input element is in the hidden state

Wilco: I agree for the type attribute, but the type property is normalised

Anne: Would it make sense to dig in the specs?
... We need to look for the state and property definitions and make sure we are using this unambiguously

<Jean-Yves> (I have to run away now... sorry...)

Wilco: I'm not sure about values like "true" for other attributes

Emma: we need to check what the accessibility tree receives instead of what is in the code

Wilco: This is a lot of work. I think we need two people to look into this. Volunteers?

Jean-Yves and Wilco will look into it

How many implementors does it take to harmonise a rule? (#577)

New Rule: Create Semantic Focus (#559)

Process document

<Wilco> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/603/files

Anne: This is a write-up of calls we had previously
... This page describes the rules writing process and the reviewing process

<shadi> +1 to Wilco's suggestion

Wilco: The ACT-TF needs this. We could place a draft label and push it, then come back to it

Anne: We need to add a TBD in the sections that have no content yet

New Rule: Create Semantic Focus (#559)

Carlos: It is not clear that this test a SC. Should we treat it as best practice?

Wilco: I thinks this is a best practice

Audrey: I don't think this is a failure

Anne: It might be a failure of 4.1.2 when considering user interface components

Wilco: Not everything that is focusable is a user interface component (e.g. a paragraph with a tabindex)

Emma: We would consider that an error

Wilco: So, would deque, but still related with a best practice

Anne: Even if this is not a failure it would be nice to have

Carlos: I will update it and then put it up for reviewing

Wilco: Don't forget there is a doodle for the f2f meeting in Denmark

<EmmaJ_PR> FYI, you're stuck with me for a while yet
