Jennifer: Structure content workgroup (previously known as Headings) - getting established. First priority is to respond to comments, second - nail down scoring

<jenniferstrickland> https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1712#issuecomment-812507838

<jenniferstrickland> Above is the Github thread on headings and semantic content

Belated April Fools: Shawn Lauriat and Peter Korn are one and the same

Peter - Confirmance Options sub-team: didn't meet this week. Focus on use cases and issues that we didn't see obvious way of including in initial structure. Favouring speed and breadth of ideas over early consensus.

ChrisLoiselle: Q re: github issues

<jenniferstrickland> @PeterKorn - Here are the silver minutes from March 5: https://www.w3.org/2021/03/05-silver-minutes.html

ChrisLoiselle: Q: have been through and updated status with "ready for survey". Are we triaging the right way? Any guidelines?

Shawn: A - will defer to Chuck and Jeanne.

<scribe> ACTION: ChrisLoiselle will follow up offline in existing email thread

Options for Bronze, Silver, Gold (resuming with option 8)

Shawn: since we are missing lots of attendees interested in this topic, propose we discuss next steps

Suzanne: has been organizing metadata around various ideas in a google doc, updated Option 11 re: related github issues.

Shawn: like idea of capturing aspects of options which should be retained even if thats not a leading option

RickBoardman: +1 like idea of easier way to compare options for people who are new

PeterKorn: idea raised of a medal below bronze
... not aware of mechanism to increase testable subset as new tests come up. Seems like a significant gap as we will develop new tests over time
... Q - not sure if this is the option list

Suzanne: A - don't think idea of adding new tests is in there. Suggest new option
... Q - what happens as we get "AI tests"?

PeterKorn: suggests that there should be time to review, make sure tests are mature and broadly available in industry before it gets added.

<ChrisLoiselle> Perhaps adding platinum on top of gold ? Or following the Hierarchy of precious substances , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_of_precious_substances

Suzanne: Organization could have option of manual vs automated testing approach.

PeterKorn: I assume first manual testing level should assume all "easier" programmatic tests below it are included

Shawn: haven't been thinking of tests as manual vs automated, but as "a requirement that a test that needs to happen".
... think of this as an aspect of organizational maturity

PeterKorn: its important that if we set an automated level, it should not be frozen to a particular technology level

Suzanne: added Option 12 covering Peter's comments

Shawn: any high level comments? Note github discussion is very useful

<SuzanneTaylor> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_KcGCV4In3fYw7m5Y40-KDrZbVI0w79HEqLB-p_zTgw/edit#heading=h.may2b29odp41

<ChrisLoiselle> Rick mentioned requirements for analyzing the options we are discussing.

Suzanne shared discussion on options above (Google doc)

ChrisLoiselle: move G doc to a google sheet?

+1
