CFC results for updating the Rule Review Process changes in (PR 486): https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/486)

<Wilco> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/486/files#r500152843

Shadi: minor updates, level 2 heading, during early approval process, would draft be included in (brackets)?

Wilco: doesn't need AG approval

Shadi: once rule is approved by AG, minor updates can happen up to a year later between approval and publishing

Wilco: can happen anytime after approval by task force

Shadi: how does the ACT task force decide? is there a process?

Wilco: discussion on ACT task force call
... clarification would help indicating when the changes occur
... merging, done

Scrollable element is keyboard accessible: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTScrollableElement

<Wilco> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTScrollableElement/results

Wilco: clarify other ways of scrolling to address Cathy's comment

maryjom: describe other cases where keyboard access is not required

Wilco: scrolling can be controlled via another keyboard method

maryjom: touch as an alternative

trevor: firefox is confusing with tabindex implementation, by default set to -1, but when set explicitly the element is not tab focusable

wilco: this can still cause keyboard accessibility issues

charu: the name implies operable (accessible)

trevor: should we only use horizontal scrolling examples as failures?

wilco: assumptions need to be fixed

maryjom: adding assumption to allow scrolling controlled by other methods

wilco: are these blockers or do we proceed?

trevor: are these minor editorial changes?

wilco: will make changes and bring up at next meeting

Role attribute has valid value: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTRoleAttribute/

wilco: adding editorial change to assumptions
... brought up mapping last week

maryjom: if a rule isn't for conformance against an accessibility requirement, then we shouldn't use ACT task force time to review

trevor: what is missing to apply this where it wasn't before?

wilco: it does cause problems
... mapping to ARIA isn't correct, as it doesn't exclude using other roles

maryjom: using the rule to check that only ARIA 1.1 used is valid, but depends on the rule purpose
... this rule could catch spelling issues

wilco: aria mapping is incorrect

charu: what other roles can we use if not aria?

wilco: this is why aria doesn't prevent use of other rules
... who is the liaison on this?
... Charu is the liaison

'Audio' or 'video' avoids automatically playing audio: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTAudioPlaysAuto/

wilco: no one has looked at this yet

maryjo: survey sent out yesterday

wilco: no responses, so ask everyone to complete surveys

Autocomplete attribute has valid value: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTAutocomplete/

wilco: rule doesn't account for different types of disabled elements
... this one due next week
... filled out decision-making process, but without comments
... do we need a cfc?
... waiting on chairs to decide whether AG will review
... waiting on one more change to be finalized by the community group, open pull request

<Wilco> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/1465

wilco: autocomplete needs a liaison

Shadi to take this one
