SAZ: EU time change
... same time, 3pm for folks in Europe
... one hour later for folks in the US
... 10am US Eastern
... please double check your agendas
... *meeting time is 3pm CET*

Review the draft of the ACT TF decision-making process: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTDecisionProcess/

<Wilco> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/494/files

<Wilco> Shadi: most significant change is that I don't think we can make this a policy for the community group. Refocused it for just the task force.

<Wilco> ... Lots of editorial wording to make sure language is consistent.

<Wilco> ... In step 4, bullets 1 and 5 were quite similar so I adjusted that.

<Wilco> ... Step 4.5 was a bit unclear, referred to 4.4. Added links to refer back to other documents.

<Wilco> ... Participants can be ambiguous; everyone is expected to follow code of ethics.

WF: any concerns?

[no objections to move this to CfC]

<Wilco> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/blob/61d6bdbdc68ab042b7139147386f067bca889f04/ACT-Task-Force-Decision-Policy.md

RESOLUTION: policy, including proposed edits to go to CfC

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

WF: this one done and needs to go into an issue
... Charu opened it but needs updating

<Wilco> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/issues/492

<scribe> ACTION: Charu to update issue 492

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

WF: only 4 responses, not enough

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

MJM: two atomic rules don't have many implementations

WF: SortSite also doesn't have this
... so not complete data for atomic rules but for composite

MJM: not sure why that happens
... include test cases from atomic in the composite rule?

WF: not sure need to include all, could include some
... can tell from atomic rule implementations
... do we want to go ahead with this, noting limited data?

MJM: does not meet criteria at this moment
... can review the rest of the rule while we wait for implementations

WF: yes, have done that before
... two more reviews needed

<scribe> ACTION: MaryJo to review Audio or Video avoids automatically playing audio

<scribe> ACTION: KathyEng to review Audio or Video avoids automatically playing audio

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

KE: assumption seems to contradict actual rule
... wording needs improvement

WF: question from Daniel
... "instrument" more objective than "mechanism"

DM: just wanted to double-check

KE: same question as Daniel
... not clear why we switch terms
... maybe just an explanation of that?

DM: maybe a note or such

WF: could work on something
... comment from Kathy on splitting controls, how to do that?

KE: only partial controls

WF: not native HTML, would need to have custom controls
... is it necessary?

KE: not critical but just missed these examples

WF: on next question, do not have inapplicable in WCAG

SAZ: inapplicable for criteria or for rule?

KE: if the rule passes, then changes my results

WF: suggestion from Trevor to collapse all into one atomic rule
... so that "Audio or video that plays automatically has no audio that lasts more than 3 seconds" can be part of applicability for the rule
... rule not wrong as it is but could be improved
... not sure if we should disqualify it

SAZ: does create some confusion, right?

WF: yes

KE: I need to look at that again

WF: any objection to publishing with current structure?

LS: had difficulty understanding it too

KE: think it's confusing

WF: ok, will send that feedback
... may take a while for this rule to return
... another comment from Kathy on interference
... bug in the website, not the rule
... will fix, thanks for catching

RESOLUTION: recommend to restructure these rules into a single atomic rule

<maryjom> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTAudioLessThan3Sec/results

WF: 4 responses so far
... first comment from Kathy
... think linebreak between the two sentences is needed
... does that fix the issue?

KE: read the second assumption differently

WF: true, they seem a little redundant
... can be updated
... second comment from Kathy
... agree, can give more context
... talked about my comments last week
... need 1 more review, open for another week
