<sarahhorton> Peter reviews addtions to document

<sarahhorton> Jeanne: Would like to go beyond challenges, another document with same name, other conformance issues that need to be explored

<sarahhorton> Janina: Might be level above testing, assessing, rating versus making conformance claim

<sarahhorton> ... details of testing, assessing, scoring may not be part of conformance claim definition

<sarahhorton> ... if those issues are not about conformance assessment

<sarahhorton> ... describing multiple situations that are met through different protocols

<sarahhorton> ... have worked most of testing ands scoring, some situations doesn't meet what's needed

<sarahhorton> ... need ability to describe how you met it that isn't ephemeral

<sarahhorton> Peter: Seems like a direction for proposed solution, not sure how it influences scope

<sarahhorton> Jeanne: Some principles are addressed in details of scoring rather than conformance section

<sarahhorton> ... don't want to rule out details of scoring when a lot of solution is there

<sarahhorton> ... writing new guidelines out of scope

<sarahhorton> ... look at how scoring flows from method to outcome

<sarahhorton> ... multipage website, leaves room for a lot of bugs

<sarahhorton> ... keeping flexibility at guideline level, work with dynamic sites

<sarahhorton> ... plan for changes to Silver, depending on what needs to be fixed, some big problems, some well addressed, may have minor changes

<sarahhorton> Peter: Roll out reports to Silver

<sarahhorton> Janina: manual testing and 3rd party content are big challenges we will work on

<sarahhorton> Jeanne: Request for scope came from chairs

<sarahhorton> Peter: Does this need soak time, or deliver as preliminary?
