Results of CFC on aria-* attribute is defined in WAI-ARIA

Wilco: I think this one is accepted. One of those aria-rules that is not really wcag
... We jave a separate rule to check roles

Shadi: There is on-going discussions between Aria practice and EOWG to integrate ARIA practice with the rest of WCAG guidance

scribe: These may need to be reviewed also in the ARIA working group as they have to do with ARIA interpretation
... Not immediate neither high priority

Wilco: We really want to focus on things WCAG for now.

Survey on update to process: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTRuleProcess/results

Wilco: We have some suggestions on updating our process.
... A couple of questions

<Wilco> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/471/files

Wilco: Kathy says Should we notify the person who submitted the rule for review?
... That makes sense

MaryJom: When the survey is done we will put comments to a new issue. In the issue that submitted the rules for review, a link to the new issue will be added, so that the old one can be closed.

[Some wording suggestions on the pull request itself]

Kathy: Should we update appendix one as well?

MaryJom: I am trying to reference the labels "new rule" and "resolve feedback"

Wilco: Conclusion, needs a little bit more work. Shall we put this in CFC once it is done?
... Seems we will.

Orientation of page is not restricted using CSS transform:https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTPageOrientation/results

Wilco: My feedback for question 3 of the assumptions. I don't think they should be written as a list.

MaryJom: It is listed as a bullet in the sufficient techniques. For me it means it is a sufficient technique.

Kathy: Not sure about that. To me it doesn't mean it is going to fix an orientation issue, rather, it sounds like showing and hiding.

<Wilco> https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G214

Wilco: This technique seems to say you have to provide a control for this.
... Kathy, do you have a suggestion? Maybe you want to open an issue with AG for this technique?

Kathy: OK for now, I need more time to think this through

Wilco: I don't like the way this is listed out. We could use a paragraph for what we are trying to say here.

MaryJom: I think it is good as is.

Wilco: Don't feel strongly.
... Other questions and concerns, There are two questions
... Applicability: Include the first note in the applicability statement instead of a note

MaryJom: I think you made a different suggestion, but I think it is OK in that section

Wilco: The reason for this to be a note is, you can give somebody the list or you can tell the to get the transformation list
... The links are in the Transforms Modules, level 2

MaryJom: I am concerned to put draft material in a rule.

Wilco: Most CSS is in draft

MaryJom: Some of them are at least candidate recommendation, but this one is a draft. I don't know how well implemented that is

Wilco: Reasonably well as I understand

Daniel: I guess if we make sure it is well implemented/used/supported, we can go ahead

MaryJom: Yes, we need to be sure about the details

Shadi: W3C policy is not to reference draft specs. Somebody can come along with another rule and how we could argument that one is stable, and the other is not?

Wilco: CG group does the following: If there is a public spec we use it, but if there is not, we take the drafts and we put a date on it so that it marks that it was taken at a particular date

Shadi: Maybe we could wait for a few weeks and then it won't be a draft anymore

Wilco: I really think this should be included, otherwise, it can lead to accessibility problems.

<Wilco> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transforms-2/

Wilco: There are more. Do we need to figure out which draft specs we are using?

Shadi: They are pretty clear that this is a draft and can change at any moment

<maryjom> https://www.w3.org/TR/css-transforms-2/

Wilco: I will look into how many draft specs we are using and will open an issue
... Conclusion about the notes?

Trevor: I still favor having the note in the applicability, it is more declarative, but if we are not mentioning the Transforms I wonder if it will impact any user

Wilco: If we are all in agreement to leave it this way, we would need another review

MaryJom: There is a link that goes to the main W3C page. Maybe we should name the spec and give pointers, I don't think a W3C generic link is helpful here

Form control has non-empty accessible name: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTFormControl/results

Wilco: We need another week for this one

ARIA required owned elements: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTRuleARIArequiredOwns/results

Wilco: Another week for this one as well. Please take time to fill in the survey.

All table headers have assigned data cells: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTTableHeaders/results

Wilco: Another week for this one as well. Please take time to fill in the survey.
... I have concerns with this one, if there is no data there is no data, it doesn't need to be a failure
... Also I have concerns with unnecessary things in the applicability. I don't think this one is ready for publication
