Agenda Review & Announcements

<Matthew_Atkinson> Update from W3C Workshop on Web Games: https://www.w3.org/blog/2019/11/status-update-on-web-games-technologies/

<Matthew_Atkinson> Great to see the activity continuing after the workshop. Matthew has been working on some stuff, with a forthcoming article on 24 Accessibility later this month.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: last meeting in 2019 will be the 18th; resuming on the 8th.

Task Force Updates

<Matthew_Atkinson> Irfan: Pronounciation TF update. The technical document (likely a ~"Pronounciation Specification" i.e. with normative requirements) will be moved to WICG at some point, though work is ongoing on maturing it now.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina + Irfan: it will relate to more than just accessibility, hence moving it to a more "global" channel for publication.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Irfan: the TF is also working on other documents, including an updated working draft.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Irfan + Janina: User Scenarios document is progressing. A couple of the documents are going to be merged and published as APA notes.

<Matthew_Atkinson> (Note: Use Cases and Gap Analysis are the other documents)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: there's an upcoming publication from the Personalization TF (more to follow).

<Matthew_Atkinson> JF: Concerned about some of the SC work in WCAG requiring input from Personalization TF.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Michael: they are trying to coordinate the timelines. (JF raises concern.)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: Research Questions documents on Immersive Web and WebRTC User Requirements will be published in early 2020.

Charter Updates (Incl WebGPU) https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Horizontal+review+requested%22

<MichaelC> GPU for the Web early draft charter

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: need to decide if we feel that a formal liaison might be needed.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Matthew: Wondering how low-level this is (i.e. if accessiblity would be at this level, or one above); will have a look and think. Could Josh have a look also, I wonder, as he's lots of experience in this area?

<MichaelC> ACTION: atkinson to review GPU for the Web draft charter https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/grorg/admin/blob/wg-charter-draft/wg-charter.html

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2222 - Review gpu for the web draft charter https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/grorg/admin/blob/wg-charter-draft/wg-charter.html [on Matthew Atkinson - due 2019-12-11].

<MichaelC> ACTION: joshue to review GPU for the Web draft charter https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/grorg/admin/blob/wg-charter-draft/wg-charter.html

<trackbot> Created ACTION-2223 - Review gpu for the web draft charter https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/grorg/admin/blob/wg-charter-draft/wg-charter.html [on Joshue O Connor - due 2019-12-11].

Community Groups Tracking Review https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Community_Groups

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: Judy suggested that instead of trying to orchestrate a top-to-bottom review once every so-often (which has generally been every year), we should regularly try to identify one extra group that relates to accessibility.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: Therefore we can complete looking at the good research Becky has done and find several groups that would fit there...

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: ...then on an ongoing basis, look at new ones and decide which ones qualify.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Becky: Just one each week/month, or all? What if a lot come up each month?

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: if many come up at a given time that may be relevant, we will need to give a heads-up that more time is needed.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Becky: We already have several from the current list.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: Could we identify one/two from that list to take to the meeting today?

<Matthew_Atkinson> Becky: ^ Manga was already identified.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (asks for views on the process)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Becky: (agrees that on a monthly basis may be better, though we don't necessarily know the participation level over time for groups that are new)

<Matthew_Atkinson> JF: In the past, have we checked for activity when looking at the list on a yearly basis? Can't we check for activity as we go?

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: We could say that our practice was to see if a group has gained traction, and only raise accessibility-related groups that have participation.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Becky: but then we have to track which ones to go back and look at.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Janina: (agrees - could this be tenable if we are set up to track?)

<Matthew_Atkinson> Becky: Yes; could add an extra column for when the group was created.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Becky: we'd also need to put in either 'no need to track' or assignees.

<Matthew_Atkinson> Becky: ...or that we're watching it.

HTML Review http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2019Nov/0003.html

<scribe> scribe: becka11y

Matthew: previously discussed some issues with focusing behavior for video and audio - browsers vary on this

<Matthew_Atkinson> https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5087

Matthew: perhaps was incorrect to interpret that W3C specified a certain focus behavior

<Matthew_Atkinson> Review tracker thread: https://github.com/w3c/htmlwg/issues/5

Matthew: no blocking issues - okay to close
... there were a few things that had some interest and observation but now show stoppers; will follow up on focus issue for clarity

JF: concerned about treatment of WebVT chapters
... chapters of a certain type no longer being displayed by the UA is a concern
... reasoning is becasue it was not well implemented

Matthew: was concerned at first but UA have never shown the chapter differently; thus couldn’t really say this was a concern because browsers have never implemented; It has been maintained as a valid ENUM value because 3rd party media players may rely on it
... thus didn’t seem to be a big concern

JF: bug tracker at WebVTT last action was 2017, seeing various people saying we should keep this enum

Janina: Yes, this is what Matthew found - keep it;

Matthew: feel it should be implmented by all, but they are not removing it because some people do implement it

JF: concern about browsers being first class citizens above others;

Janina: yes, that is another discussion

JF: if is just an editorial change that changes from a must to a should or may

Matthew: I don’t think it has been downgraded - browsers still need to implement the value and pass it through

<Matthew_Atkinson> RRSAgent: make logs public

<Matthew_Atkinson> Trackbot, end meeting
