Results of CfC for HTML page has non-empty title

wilco: CFC for non empty title rule, got positive responses

<Wilco> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wcag-act/2020Aug/

wilco: this is accepted

<Wilco> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wcag-act/2020Aug/0015.html

Text has minimum contrast: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTMinContrast/results

Wilco: 6 reviewers, thats good
... comment from Kathy, the 1.4.6 requirement should not be included, as it needs 7:1

<Wilco> https://www.w3.org/TR/act-rules-format/#accessibility-requirements-mapping

wilco: if you fail 1.4.6 you also fail 1.4.3

Kathy: the passing examples do not meet 1.4.6

Wilco: Kathy, would it be acceptable to add a note on the passed example meet only 1.4.3
... yes we could do that

Ann: it is odd to have a requirement and have expectation not meet that would make it hard for anyone not spending their life in accessibility to understand

Wilco: yeah agree
... this is a separate issue

Trevor: what would be an ideal scenario? should we split the rule

Wilco: not sure
... there must be something in the rule format to allow this
... we will hold up on this conversation and revisit later
... moving on, another comment from Kathy

<Wilco> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/afw4f7#passed-example-7

Wilco: we have had this conversation and did not come to a conclusion, so lets do this

<Wilco> https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-pure-decoration

Wilco: the text is decorative, changing the letters does not change the purpose
... the note does not agree

Kathy: aria-hidden doe not apply, i think
... screen readers would miss the example

Wilco: if it is not decorative, it should fail

Daniel: we now agree that text is not purely decorative, so may be put some random characters to pass

Wilco: Would that be sufficient?
... should we remove the example 7?

Kathy: yes, example 1 satisfies the decorative criteria

Wilco: or remove aria-hidden and fail it

Kathy: agree

Ann: Some text in human language, is that a criteria?

Wilco: yes language is context sensitive
... comment on example 8 to add a note
... is it non-text content?

cpandhi: non-text does not have to meet the contrast criteria?

Wilco: yes, it does not need a note, agree?

Kathy: yes

Wilco: comment from me, not a blocker, not a widget seems unnecessary
... basically means text on buttons or inputs does not apply
... we should have a separate rule to catch that
... we add it here even if we decide to add it in other rules

Trevor; we will need some examples

Ann: what about different states?

Wilco: good point, that is why we did not add it in the first place
... ok you convince me to not do that, it would add lot of complexity
... still needs to be updated and resolved

Image has non-empty accessible name: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTImageAccName3/results

<Wilco> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/23a2a8#failed-example-1

Wilco: 6 responses, looking good
... will make some quick updates and put that into a CFC

+1

Wilco: hearing no objections

How definitions should be handled in the rules

<Wilco> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act-rules/blob/staging/content/explicit-SVG-image-has-name-7d6734.md#glossary

Wilco: on the website, we are including the definitions into the rules, meaning hard coding
... that is not what the AG does, ensures that definitions are not outdated
... we approve rules and don't review definitions, so if we do that, our review process should change
... So the definitions can be included but have a separate definitions
... so we have consistent definitions in all rules

Trevor: do we have an example of inconsistent definitions?

Wilco: not sure
... the newer rules will have a link to the examples

Kathy: would a definition change cause a change a rule version?

Wilco: any updates to definition can affect the rules that use the definition

Trevor: would be nice to have a list to trace it back

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

Wilco: i think we have that in the glossary

Ann: is it the rules published through the TF or all the rules from the CG

Wilco: that is a bunch of work, we need to automate that
... will talk to Marry Jo to add a question to the survey,
