) defines a section of a document to indicate a related grouping of semantic meaning. It makes sense to use the section element to provide extra context for the parent element. 14:41:13 Jennifer_strickland_: we need to consider what the actions are 14:41:21 present+ 14:41:24 -1 to having too many headings 14:41:27 q+ to ask if better definitions are sufficient, or should we have technology neutral rules at the Outcome level? 14:41:35 q? 14:41:48 Sheri_B-H_: example is a survey -- examples of text then some buttons to select 14:42:03 Sheri_B-H_: so every section we need headings 14:42:11 Jennifer_strickland_: better headings definition could help 14:42:20 https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/sections.html#the-section-element 14:42:32 Q+ 14:42:46 The section element represents a generic section of a document or application. A section, in this context, is a thematic grouping of content, typically with a heading. 14:42:54 Proposed: A section contains controls or information grouped by a theme or purpose which is distinct from the themes or purpose of other sections within a view or process. 14:43:13 Jennifer_strickland_: phps we need to be requiring a heading per page 14:43:13 q? 14:43:18 ack b 14:43:18 bruce_bailey, you wanted to ask to look at current HTML def for section 14:43:57 bruce_bailey: think our concepts are actually html, even though we hope can be applied beyond html 14:44:11 ack j 14:44:35 jeanne2: asking whether more precise definitions would help the ACT level 14:44:49 q+ 14:44:50 jeanne2: or do we need rules at the tech neutral level 14:44:54 Yes to Jeanne's question 14:45:09 q? 14:45:17 ack jeanne 14:45:17 jeanne, you wanted to ask if better definitions are sufficient, or should we have technology neutral rules at the Outcome level? 14:45:22 q+ 14:45:33 jf: concerned that too many headings will have a negative impact on some users 14:45:48 q- 14:46:10 Bruce, Section in PDF Spec: A container for grouping related content elements 14:46:17 jf: think we need appropriate titles/labels, but not nec a heading 14:46:22 The section element is a neutral HTML element, and the definition we're discussing here as sectioning is a bit different. The section element in html has only minimal difference from a div, for example. 14:46:30 q? 14:46:31 Sheri_B-H_: not advocating, just trying to extend Chuck's suggestion in the moment 14:46:34 ack anne 14:46:45 q+ 14:46:50 Jemma: not sure we need rules on the outcome level 14:47:01 q+ to say I'm a fan of Bruce's comment.

There are other mechanisms 14:59:35 Jennifer_strickland_: agree all needs reviewed and further developed 15:00:36 Wilco: notes organizing text doc is one kind of content; but there are others 15:00:56 @wilco, or maybe not. And let's not forget
15:01:01 Jennifer_strickland_: I think heading in this group are automatically thinking or
15:01:23 Jennifer_strickland_: those may have different definitions depending on the tech involved 15:01:53 and a) ARIA is intended to be tech-neutral, b) ARIA sematinces override native semantics. I realize this is part of "testing", but still... 15:01:53 Sheri_B-H_: but that suggests not using different definitions for commonly understood terms 15:02:08 q+ 15:02:27 ack br 15:02:51 bruce_bailey: suggests trying to use words similar to headings that are familiar -- at least for now 15:03:01 q+ 15:03:12 q+ 15:03:19 ack da 15:03:21 bruce_bailey: words not appropriated by html elements might be a good approach 15:03:43 david-macdonald_: recalls we had talked about web unit 15:04:04 david-macdonald_: recalls the adoption of "horsepower" 15:04:18 david-macdonald_: this to say that terms can survive into a different context 15:04:38 +1 to DAvid - this is touching (a bit) on "Plain Language" 15:05:00 david-macdonald_: if we have real examples of using something other than headings, that would be helpful 15:05:34 The Method lists exceptions of when the heading would not be needed 15:05:42 with apps, could have window TITLE that serves as HEADING 15:05:50 scribe: trevor 15:06:45 jennifer_strickland_: want to call out the way we are using certain words in our outcome language at the beginning to inform how we refer to things. doing some user research w/ lay-people might be very helpful 15:07:25 q+ to say there are 500 years of typographic convention 15:07:28 jennifer_strickland_: we all think headings and title and labelling is how we talk about these. but what does a novice web dev or QA person think. the verbiage they use may be more plain language 15:07:33 q+ 15:07:41 ack jen 15:07:45 ack mb 15:07:45 mbgower, you wanted to say there are 500 years of typographic convention 15:08:29 mbgower: I think that type of convention is very much in what david was saying. title on the outside of the book, heading marks the topic of content 15:08:46 +1 to Mbgower 15:08:58 Q+ to note that "heading" has already been normatively defined by WAI - https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#heading 15:08:58 +1 to MGower 15:09:01 mbgower: Going back to that seems to be a good way forward, most easily understood coming from a print background 15:09:17 q+ 15:09:26 wilco: want to get a bit away from this, but think it something valuable to explore 15:09:35 question+ Finding the right word for a definition is important? 15:09:43 ack an 15:09:44 jeanne: finding the right words is important 15:10:16 ack jf 15:10:16 JF, you wanted to note that "heading" has already been normatively defined by WAI - https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#heading 15:10:23 anne_thyme: for the people writing these outcomes, recommend looking at the glossary list of the act rules repo since it will help with the things not defined in current wcag 15:10:23 https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#heading 15:11:01 JF: We already have a normative heading definition from aria. question is if we accept that definition or create a new definition. Think that we shouldn't reinvent the wheel 15:11:12 Thanks, Anne - very helpful. Can you drop a link to that so we can add it to the style guide? 15:11:16 ack ca 15:11:24 A heading for a section of the page. 15:11:38 Often, heading elements will be referenced with the aria-labelledby attribute of the section for which they serve as a heading. If headings are organized into a logical outline, the aria-level attribute is used to indicate the nesting level. 15:12:04 CarlosD: Wanted to bring attention with why headings are the only way to locate content. Whitespace is a way to organize, heading is a way to organize and describe content, so don't think headings are the only way to do this 15:12:40 jeanne2: thats a good point, the examples in the method show how to use whitespace in a text-only document. wondering if it should be at an outcome level 15:13:35 +1 to Wilco 15:13:37 https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#section 15:13:45 wilco: my last point on "makes locating and navigating info easier and faster", putting in normative means that headings actually make something easier or faster. I don't think that is part of the intent and so shoulnd't be normative 15:13:47 question+ Should examples atthe Method level move to the Outcome level? The example is using white space to to separate content. 15:13:47 +1 to Wilco 15:13:49 +1 to Wilco -- this belongs as background/rationale 15:13:51 A renderable structural containment unit in a document or application. 15:13:59 +1 to wilco 15:14:13 Note: section is an abstract role used for the ontology. Authors should not use this role in content. 15:14:25 jeanne2: Aron comment, logical blocks and expected headings need more definition 15:15:12 jeanne2: Jennifer Chadwick question on functional categories compared with functional needs. 15:15:35 MichaelC: no, they are making a clear distinction between them. we will have more to explain to the group soon 15:16:37 jeanne2: janina asked about other semantics serving the same purpose as headings 15:18:24 janina: know of many examples where there can be a mixture. I think it can go all the way back to views and accessibility support. Perhaps more requirements on AT. 15:20:14 anne_thyme: question on what types of headings, visual, semantic, or both. Think they are a lot more than the aria-definition. Was not clear how to test outcome just from description. Many different interpretations 15:21:27 q+ 15:21:34 jeanne2: We do have other outcomes for visual and semantic headings. This was common to both. Would it be better to have that be part of the outcome on visual and semantic headings, or have basic concept that is extended 15:22:17 q- 15:22:42 From 2.4.6 Headings and Labels: "This Success Criterion also does not require that content acting as a heading or label be correctly marked up or identified - this aspect is covered separately by 1.3.1: Info and Relationships. " 15:22:57 anne_thyme: I think it just needs to be clear that it applies to both. For rating could be hard to count with different number of visual and semantic headings 15:23:17 q+ 15:23:24 +1 to Anne 15:23:31 q+ 15:23:32 +1 to Anne 15:23:40 anne_thyme: Need to know number of objects that are included for counting to get consistent scoring 15:24:19 question+ How to include the counting for scoring and the way different circumstances can be counted. What to do when the count is not the same across different outcomes? 15:24:24 sheri_B-h_: Been spending a lot of time with ML with headings but do believe we can automate solutions for some of those. 15:24:47 lol, not all of them Bruce 15:25:04 anne_thyme: Nice to hear it may be able to be automated, but need to make sure the different automated tools get same results. Goal of ACT-Rules 15:25:11 s/lol, not all of them Bruce// 15:25:11 q? 15:25:12 Q+ to speak to tests and scores 15:25:25 ack sh 15:25:28 Sheri_B-H_: hoping to say that once we get the solution we can automate so everyone gets the same result 15:25:33 ack da 15:26:03 qv? 15:26:05 q+ to ask if ACT rules do this now for WCAG 2 headings 15:26:22 +1 to davids comment, i am now not a fan of tallies 15:27:09 q+ to say that without more clarity on the conformance model I think that it is premature to say that there is general agreement on counting things. 15:27:20 david-macdonald_: Has concerns about the counting the number of passing events for headings. It seems like it would double or triple the amount of time needed to check headings. 15:27:41 david-macdonald_: would increase cost to company and if budget stays the same could negatively impact accessibility. 15:28:10 q+ to say counting might be ACT related 15:28:27 We can explore options for that in the upcoming AG work 15:28:33 ack jf 15:28:33 JF, you wanted to speak to tests and scores 15:29:25 JF: When we get to ACT tests, not all tests are applicable in all instances. Native mobile apps don't have notion of different levels of headings.

One of the big differences between ACT and Trusted Tester is that ACT really tries to be machine countable. 15:32:41 johnkirkwood has joined #wcag-act 15:33:26 Wilco: As a clarification, ACT rules don't need to be automated and several are not automatable. 15:33:31 zakim, take up next 15:33:31 agendum 2 -- Rating & Critical Errors sections of Headings organize content -- taken up [from jeanne] 15:33:50 questions? 15:34:21 Does every test unit (view?) require at least 1 heading 15:34:57 jeanne2: Have collected questions from this discussion 15:35:09 Jeanne should refresh survey 15:36:58 q+ 15:37:09 Thank you, Wilco, for clarification on ACT. 15:37:17 q- 15:37:31 q+ 15:37:42 q+ 15:37:43 jeanne2: put up proposal for defintion (see above) 15:38:08 AWK: so the resolution is saying that the outcomes need to have definitions not that they are good right now? 15:38:52 jeann2: yep exactly, we are trying to take a specific example and generalize to the rest of the document. In this case we are talking about creating precise and testable definitions. The definitions may be customized per outcome 15:39:23 jeanne2: want to work with ACT to ensure good definitions that are testable 15:39:32 q+ to say "customizable" definitions may have issues. 15:39:46 ack awk 15:39:59 AWK: So outcome and questions would both be normative? 15:39:59 ack sh 15:40:02 jeanne2: yes 15:40:03 q+ to say that I didn't see outcomes themselves as necessarily directly testable, but rather defining what the technology-specific tests would need to document 15:40:44 shadi: part of the phrase "at the technology nuetral level", its not really assisting testing, not sure there is tech agnostic testing 15:41:29 shadi: feel there is a bit too much focus on testing. we also want this for developers to know what to do 15:41:30 If content is organized into sections visually that would be tested using technology-neutral tests.

Headings organize content. 16:13:06 Jeanne: ...one or more headings necessary to complete the process are missing. 16:13:35 Jeanne: In WCAG 3 we look at things by view, a term for what you can see on screen, in viewport. We must be aware of 360 degree VR products. 16:14:03 Jeanne: the term is our best estimate. Let's avoid discussing if it's the right term. We have views and processes. Process is the task trying to be complete on page. 16:14:23 michael has joined #wcag-act 16:14:28 Jeanne: We are allowing orgs to not be perfect and still conform. We also want to capture the critical errors. The things that are severe blockers. 16:14:46 Jeanne: We are doing in 3 ways. 1 is the non-interference SC. If these occur any where, it's an automatic failure. 16:14:59 Jeanne: Flashing, automatically playing audio, basic non-interference. 16:15:16 Jeanne: 2nd ... the user cannot complete the process they are trying to complete on the view because of an accessibility error. 16:15:34 Jeanne: 3rd type is accumulative impact of small errors that sums to a complete block of completing process. 16:15:41 Jeanne: We are looking at 2nd category 16:15:48 Thanks Bruce 16:15:53 Jeanne: Headings necessary to complete the process are missing. 16:16:36 s/Thanks Bruce// 16:16:53 Jeanne: Wilco says make it easier to find content, but "necessary" seems too strong. 16:17:06 q+ 16:17:08 +1 to that. Since a process is any activity the user performs (or can potentially perform) does this then mean that clicking on any and all hyperlinks starts a process? And if the user clicks on a link, and arrives at the intended destination, is that a “successful” process execution? 16:17:12 Jeanne: Sounds like a key issue. 16:17:35 Wilco: I want a better explanation behind it. What's it suppose to be? Doesn't seem like what's there is what is intended. 16:17:39 ack wi 16:18:07 Jeanne: 16:18:34 Jeanne: In WCAG 3 process is defined as 16:18:41 https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/WD-wcag-3.0-20210121/#dfn-process 16:18:45 Jeanne: 16:18:49 A sequence of steps that need to be completed in order to accomplish an activity / task from end-to-end. 16:18:58 q+ 16:19:24 Jeanne: Rachael was key in crafting this. Not on call. 16:19:33 ... Sheri not on call as well. 16:19:42 Jeanne: Sheri would be good for specifics on flashing. 16:20:09 WCAG: process series of user actions where each action is required in order to complete an activity 16:20:24 Shadi: In WCAG 2 definition is mostly used for "all pages part of the process". I don't think it uses the process in absence, which is why it could be an incomplete definition. Related to pages in a process. 16:20:30 q+ 16:20:34 ack sh 16:20:38 +1 to Shadi - it suggests 'multi-step' 16:20:40 Shadi: Talks about all pages in a process. Using just that part of term w/o context could be problematic. 16:21:19 Product? 16:21:23 Jeanne: I think what it's talking about... that the order of the page or the tester evaluating the conformance for a product would identify the task that is being accomplished in the view. 16:21:48 I will have to jump off. See you next week. 16:22:01 Jeanne: It would be tested... you would run your automated tests, and generic manual tests, and decide purpose of this view and decide purpose user is trying to accomplish. And decide if the error blocks the user from completing the main purpose. 16:22:19 Jeanne: I wanted to call them screens and tasks, but I understand the reason for changing the names. 16:22:28 How does a tester know what any individual user came to a screen for? 16:22:46 Presumes each page has a "main purpose" 16:22:46 Jeanne: We could look at it as... you are testing a screen, it has a purpose, there's a process, does any accessibility issue on the page prevent accomplishing what the user is trying to do? 16:22:52 q? 16:22:54 ack w 16:23:00 Is that a very subjective assessment in terms of determining what a user can/can't do? 16:23:17 Wilco: My understanding is that this new definition of process was to allow for task based testing. Shawn has been pitching. 16:23:40 Wilco: In which anything you want to define as a task can be tested. But in doing this we created a definition that can potentially cover everything. 16:23:47 +1 Wilco - clicking a link is a process 16:23:58 Wilco: Seem then that it can't be defined as a critical error. Any error could be called critical. 16:24:08 q+ 16:24:10 Q+ 16:24:12 q+ to say that processes can build up scope of conformance for communicating the state of the overall thing, so critical specifically in the context of the process under test 16:24:22 ack mb 16:24:23 Wilco: What is a critical error changes on the approach. Hoping Shawn would jump in. 16:24:39 MG: Maybe a key part is the process is defined by the author. If that might help us have the scope defined. 16:24:50 MG: Isn't that a key part of how Silver testing will occur? 16:24:59 Wilco: Then is the author always involved? 16:25:04 @MG: site owner, not author maybe 16:25:11 No, I can include more on that in my response. 16:25:28 Jeanne: As a general view, the person or group of people who are making a conformance claim would say "this is the process". It's whoever is making the conformance claim. 16:25:30 q? 16:25:34 ack jf 16:25:39 sure, owner 16:26:16 User needs can be so varied particularly from a cognitive accessibility standpoint. 16:26:17 JF: Struggling with the requirement of being a mind reader. I go to a menu and click on contact. What am I looking for? Any one of the examples could be a process. I don't know why you clicked on contact tab in the first place. 16:26:19 q+ 16:26:31 q+ to say that it only matter for a conformance claim, if you are a user you go by the guideline and page. 16:26:35 qv? 16:26:36 Jeanne: Presumed that tester would have instructions. They are telling you what the process is and what the steps are. 16:26:42 That's why the owner has to define the processes to test, IMO. And the process having been established by the owner, it is then repeatable. 16:27:03 JF: I don't know if that's true. Trying to anticipate needs w/o defining a process. If I create a contact page, there are things I will provide. I will give you a form so you can contact me that way. 16:27:21 JF: Many ways to contact, choose which one meets your need. The process is "get in touch with client". 16:27:38 q? 16:27:39 q? 16:27:43 JF: We talked about needs for definitions. We have very broad definitions that don't hold up to strict scrutiny. I'm struggling. 16:28:01 Jeanne: It would be helpful to provide a proposal. We can't move forward w/o proposals. 16:28:22 Shawn: Answering question of what the processes are there for and how they work. I can speak to who defines them. 16:28:43 Shawn: Wilco you are right, I spoke in terms of tasks, but processes are generic. Exist to build up a way of declaring scope of conformance. 16:29:12 Shawn: It is also the context for deciding if something is a critical error. There may be one error that is a critical error for one process, but not applicable to another. 16:29:43 Shawn: Or could be not critical for a process. a poor label, but the path forward is easily found. But in another, this is THE label required to finish the task. Did that help? 16:29:59 Wilco: It does, but it raises another thing. How does that work with testing views? 16:30:12 Exactly what I am worried about Wilco 16:30:20 Wilco: If testing a view, you don't need a process. Sounds like you need a process to identify a critical error. 16:30:40 Shawn: Critical for understanding that view and moving on to the next view. I've tried to focus on users trying to do something, even if that something is just to read a page. 16:31:05 Shawn: Or John's example, an online toy that changes colors and does abstract art. There is nothing accomplished other than getting enjoyment. 16:31:07 q+ to say I prefer and recommend using "task" or even "user task" 16:31:14 ack la 16:31:14 Lauriat, you wanted to say that processes can build up scope of conformance for communicating the state of the overall thing, so critical specifically in the context of the process 16:31:17 ... under test 16:31:21 Shawn: Approaching always from "can user do this thing", even if thing is simple or complex. 16:31:43 q- 16:31:48 Shawn: Speaking to Mike's comment. We have spent a lot of time coming up with the word, and it's not a perfect word. We appreciate any proposals offline. 16:32:21 Wilco: Sounds like if you always need a process defined, we may want to document that better. Independent testing, is that possible with WCAG 3? 16:32:22 ack wi 16:32:42 Shawn: Absolutely. If someone is making a conformance claim for their thing, they are declaring the processes and ... 16:32:43 q+ 16:33:13 Shawn: Declaring level. ...adds structure to the comparison. Comparison at lower level, element by element. 16:33:13 +1 to what Shawn is saying 16:33:21 ack al 16:33:21 alastairc, you wanted to say that it only matter for a conformance claim, if you are a user you go by the guideline and page. 16:33:22 Shawn: Forms it into "I can't do this because I hit this thing". 16:33:55 Alastair: Currently people can pick pages in WCAG 2. Like with WCAG 2 organizations can choose their own. If they choose silly tasks processes that would be obvious. 16:34:07 q+ 16:34:14 Alastair: Regulators are stating what must be included in conformance claims. Will play out similar for WCAG 3. 16:34:14 ack sh 16:34:38 Q+ to ask about processes and user-stories 16:35:10 Shadi: Not sure I agree that it's that straight forward. For external bodies like govt bodies to decide what processes or tasks website owner declared are actually sufficient. 16:35:22 +1 to shadi 16:35:28 +1 16:35:35 We do need to validate these things, definitely! 16:35:40 Shadi: I'm thinking of an app, you could list quite a bunch, exhaustive list. Not sure if example of pages. Key pages, I think that they are often... in web applications... 16:35:55 +1 Shadi 16:36:10 Shadi: List of processes and tasks becomes so vast that... I hate it as a wheel chair user to be told to not use a route. 16:36:33 Shadi: This is ringing bells of what "I decided for you to use", rather than providing the services that are being provided for everyone. 16:36:35 q? 16:36:39 ack mb 16:36:45 +1 to Shadi's expression! 16:37:09 mg: I like the idea of author/owner defining is most of the time, when doing testing, you do this. You can't test everything, and you define important processes, and concentrate testing on that. 16:37:15 q+ to propose we park this 16:37:18 mg: This has the potential to make it more transparent. 16:37:26 q+ 16:37:27 +1 to Mgower 16:37:33 True, but procurement processes for complex apps usually define tasks as well, from the client point of view. And providers will define their own that should meet the user-needs. Never going to be perfect, but it builds on what happens already. 16:37:46 mg: To shadi's point, makes it easier to challenge what's been tested. More reproducible test result, and easier to challenge incomplete testing. 16:37:48 ack jf 16:37:48 JF, you wanted to ask about processes and user-stories 16:37:49 +1 to Mgower, exactly. 16:38:23 jf: Something Shadi said, for me when I think of processes, I think of user stories. "As a user of screen reader..." "as a user of limited mobility..." There's test for one process. They may not have the same outcomes. 16:38:24 q+ to ask if we expect WCAG3 to require posting of conformance claims? 16:38:41 jf: The moment we try to define user paths, we are opening up a world of hurt. We just don't know. 16:39:08 jf: Jamie Knight, understanding a user with autism. We need to factor in all the disability types. It is going to have to define multiple tests. 16:39:12 ack wi 16:39:12 Wilco, you wanted to propose we park this 16:39:48 Wilco: I want to suggest... this is an important topic. More needs to be said. Jeanne, can we have a separate point to have this conversation? This is not an ACT topic, beyond we need good defiitions. 16:39:53 Wilco: Can we postpone? 16:39:58 Jeanne: That's a good approach. 16:40:02 question+ How do we define process - this should be discussed with AGWG 16:40:08 +1 to Wilco, I think we wanted to walk through examples, which would help us in that conversation in the first place. 16:40:09 Wilco: I want to get through critical errors portion of survey. 16:40:15 My proposal is to have a much clearer and accountable definition of "process" 16:40:16 ack sh 16:40:37 Shadi: I agree with you Wilco. I think we have it on record, I disagree with the idea that it would make it more transparent. I think it might make it less. 16:40:43 +1 Shadi - less transparent and far more clomplex 16:40:55 ack br 16:40:55 bruce_bailey, you wanted to ask if we expect WCAG3 to require posting of conformance claims? 16:40:55 Shadi: I think that there will be claims of conformance, but would have to read fine print. 16:41:01 s/clomplex/complex 16:41:18 Bruce: With Mike's point about making it easier to challenge what's been tested. Do we expect WCAG 3 to make publicly available conformance claims? 16:41:27 Bruce: A neutral 3rd party will have no idea what that is. 16:41:41 Jeanne: We have never discussed having publicly available conformance claims. 16:42:00 Wilco: Can Jeanne take us back to critical errors? I want to save last 10 minutes to discuss plans for next week. 16:42:11 I agree with Bruce, that that must be in there. 16:42:31 Jeanne: This is all good discussion. I hoped to get into methods and tests. 16:42:58 Wilco: 16:43:08 Wilco: Let's try to get through critical errors. 16:43:29 Wilco: Leave scoring separately. My comment on critical errors are largely discussed at this point. 16:43:51 Wilco: ,,,very subjective... 16:44:22 Aron: That's regarding the rating scale. Looks like 25% or less... not really about outcomes. Not critical errors related. 16:44:50 Aron: I wasn't able to tie outcomes to scale. I wasn't sure what a critical error was. My view on outcome is same as yours. I don't know what constitutes a necessary heading. 16:45:16 Aron: If there is an instruction to compete a task, that mentions the heading, then it needs to be visually distinct and programatically determinable. That's the only case I thought would be critical. 16:45:35 Wilco: I left similar comment, and similar comment from Anne. There are some struggles here. Even if we know what a process is. 16:45:42 Those are comments noted in the Github Issues from respondents, as well, that have not yet been incorporated. 16:45:56 Critical error also tracks back to which user-story? 16:46:08 Jeanne: Part of what the groups contended with, very little time. We didn't discuss weaknesses of what was defined. 16:46:14 q? 16:46:21 JF: Critical error tracks back to user story. 16:46:38 q+ 16:46:42 Jeanne: Closely tracks to tasks, disability neutral. 16:47:11 except outcomes are not disability neutral - different disabilities have different types of "critical errors" 16:47:22 mg: In regards to critical error for heading, I'm struggling to define minimum or maximum content requiring a heading. It's difficult to make something testible. 16:47:31 +1 JF and Mike those are my concerns as well 16:47:38 q+ to offer a possible example of a critical heading error 16:47:48 q+ to say that this Outcome may not actually have a critical error. 16:47:50 mg: If you think it's a comment by user. I'm trying to imagine any kind of measurement that would say "this needs a heading, this doesn't need a heading". 16:47:55 ack Mg 16:48:05 q+ wilco 16:48:10 Wilco: Wondering if we need critical errors for this outcome. 16:48:17 q- 16:48:22 Jeanne: Queued myself to echo same comment. 16:48:27 ack mb 16:48:30 ack laur 16:48:30 Lauriat, you wanted to offer a possible example of a critical heading error 16:48:47 Shawn: I was going to say same thing, not everything will have a critical error. Flip is true. For example of something with headings... 16:49:07 Shawn: Have a complex document or U/I, 150 H1's that have same text in them. It's arbitrary, criticality is debatable. 16:49:28 Shawn: Imaginative. My way of +1 Jeanne's and Mikes point. 16:49:38 One or more headings necessary to locate the content needed to complete a process are not coded as headings. 16:50:00 Jeanne: Critical error for another outcome, conveys hierarchy, critical error there is that one or more headings are not coded as headings May be a better example of a critical error. 16:50:12 ack laur 16:50:15 Wilco: We are getting close to end of meeting. 16:50:16 ack wilco 16:50:48 Wilco: HOw ACT format can be blended with methods. Let's see how much we can get done on this survey. 16:51:00 Wilco: Maybe add one more question for next meeting. 16:51:40 Jeanne: We may not want to do a survey like this. Inspired engagement, but maybe not productive to have gone through answers the way we did. I'm hoping to get questions that get us in the direction we want to go. 16:52:01 Jeanne: It's huge that we needed definitions and not rules at the outcome level. That's a big step forward. We spend a lot of time on other topics and not that. 16:52:13 Wilco: Others? 16:52:15 q+ 16:52:48 scribe: Wilco 16:52:56 Jennifer: Any sessions needs opportunity for related sub group to review comments before proceeding, so we can be more helpful and aid the colaborative proess. 16:53:12 Jeanne: I agree, but sometimes survey is filled out at very start of call. 16:53:27 Jennifer: I have similar challenges. 16:54:05 Jeanne: I suggest in next session we take example of methods, and look at how the ACT rules apply, and how we can better communicate the ACT rules. 16:54:22 Jeanne: For the people who will be doing the testing and implementing. 16:54:39 Jeanne: I would like to have next session be about ACT rules and where they sit. And if anything needs to change. 16:55:04 Wilco: Not perfectly aligned, but close. We do need some tough conversations about which way to go in some insances. 16:55:11 s/insances/instances/ 16:55:23 Jeanne: WCAG 3 is in dough and not baked stage, we have flexibility. 16:55:41 +1 for sharing act rules 16:55:41 Wilco: Share some rules ahead of next meeting? Give people a chance to review, as prep? 16:55:45 +1 16:55:48 +1 16:55:52 Jeanne: I like that, especially ones related to headings. 16:56:06 someone: Headings or structured content? 16:56:15 Wilco: Landmarks might be, we have one or two. 16:56:22 someone: We have bypass blocks. 16:56:25 Shadi: And lists. 16:57:17 Jeanne: We'll send out new homework, reviewing ACT tests. Next call is next Friday, same time, same channel. 16:57:30 ... We will focus on how ACT rules fit with the methods. 16:57:34 ...
