Third Party Content Redux
sajkaj: Might be an opportunity coming if the group agrees to handle third party more easily
Hoping to wrap up the report by June 8th at AGWG
Testing: "Third Party has two main divisions for conformance purposes"
sajkaj: We thought third party broke down to three groups, but as the report developed, copyright is the same as content. Would need to check on that.
Jemma: Request to clarify three categories to two
sajkaj: "contracted content" and "freely provided by individuals" as the two new categories
sarahhorton: Example of Facebook - is facebook contracted content?
sajkaj: It may be considered as contract with no fee
We can change the term whether it is implicit, money has changed hands etc but we should get some advice on that
sajkaj: Facebook may fall under both categories dependent upon usage - freely provided content vs class related content
Third Party: Contracted Content Conformance Proposal
sajkaj: with regards to a contract service, the proposal is the first thing is to identify it
Identify for each what the accessibility issues are (1point)
Identify the contractee (1 point)
Suggest a remedy (1 point)
Edit - identifying the contract service gains 1 point
ie. finding the boundary to third party content
Lets users know the owner does not always have the power to fix an issue
Enables showing commonality of issues across different sites using the same third party service
sarahhorton: if part of an audit how might this play out? Evaluating a site and whether a problem has been reported to the vendor and whether there is a remedy - how does the auditor know this?
sajkaj: the site making the conformance claim would need to disclose this to the evaluator
jeanne: dont think this is unheard of
<Jemma> azlan: 1. declairing third party content, GDPR, Cookies can be considered.
<Jemma> 2. I may not have a choice to select third party.
Jemma: Question - who is providing a recommendation - owner or third party vendor?
sajkaj: The owner should do their best to get the thrid party to be accessible
Jemma: I score the points as the university staff auditor
sajkaj: You report the issue and request recommendations for a possible fix that may be reported back
Jemma: Exception process - no accessible alternative is available. How might this work?
sajkaj: Don't know - we may run into that.
Jemma: lists some third party service in use in the University that would require the exception process
sajkaj: we need a clear way to categorise an exception and timestamp it
<Jemma> I agree with Sarah's point
sarahhorton: we need to take as a starting point systems that are inaccessible. Anything we do that involves rating on systems there will inevitably be accessibility issues and we need meaningful ratings for the severity of that
sajkaj: there are sites that there may not be time or budget for making the content accessible before the content is no longer required
zakin, bye
