- agendum 1 -- Agenda Review & Administrative Items -- taken up [from sajkaj]
- 16:03:22 [JF]
- SJ: simple agenda, pick up from last time
- 16:03:53 [JF]
- goal from last week was to proposed something for "licensed media"
- 16:04:30 [JF]
- but so far we remain focused on "user-generated" - will present to the larger group (AG WG) on Aug. 3rd

- 16:05:20 [Jemma]
- Jemma has joined #silver-conf
- 16:05:37 [JF]
- PK: had a thought: "Limited Rights" as opposed to "licensed media"
- 16:05:50 [JF]
- JS: agree, currently soliciting ideas and suggestions
- 16:06:09 [JF]
- Jeanne: sounds a tad legal, but a good start
- 16:06:26 [JF]
- JS: agreed, even though that is the precise issue we are trying to resolve
- 16:07:08 [JF]
- PK: we can iterate on that - maybe "Limited Authority"?

- 16:09:52 [JF]
- ... to keep with that discussion
- 16:10:24 [JF]
- JS: overview of changes: rewritten editors not at top
- 16:10:36 [JF]
- ...multiple versions. Hoping this is clearer now
- 16:10:47 [JF]
- ...don't consider it finished, but hope it brings clarity
- 16:11:14 [JF]
- ...majority of tweaks are above definition(s). W@as seeking 'plain language' explanations
- 16:11:28 [JF]
- ...a few additional edits in the mid-section

- JS: no changes to use-cases
- 16:12:23 [JF]
- PK: noted there was an HTML typo - made a fix
- 16:12:27 [PeterKorn]
- ack pet
- 16:13:05 [JF]
- Jeanne: are we planning to have a github pull request for this? for next week?
- 16:13:08 [PeterKorn]
- +1 to that idea Jeanne
- 16:13:18 [JF]
- JS: do not believe next week is target date - target is for Aug 3
- 16:13:30 [JF]
- Jeanne: will need to be done before then
- 16:13:58 [JF]
- JS: we can create pull requests, but is still incomplete. Waiting on specific language from Makoto's group
- 16:14:52 [JF]
- ...we also need to ensure that this is all clear: is the document layout clear, definitions. etc?
- 16:15:15 [JF]
- ...We probably have most of that, but may need more questions.
- 16:15:36 [JF]
- PK: [reads aloud the content - section for reviewers]
- 16:19:15 [JF]
- ...covered the "Editor's Note" section
- 16:19:37 [JF]
- Jeanne: asking about a crosslink with FB - who is responsible?
- 16:19:53 [JF]
- PK: we've been kicking this around
- 16:20:04 [JF]
- JS: in section above Editor's not
- 16:20:38 [PeterKorn]
- "User Generated Content is provided for publication by visitors where the content platform specifically welcomes and encourages it. Any content provided by employees, contractors, or authorized volunteers of the publisher is not User Generated content.
- 16:20:39 [JF]
- s/Editor's not/Editor's note
- 16:20:48 [PeterKorn]
- "Similarly, content created by publishers on social media platforms, or on behalf of publishers on platforms such as social media (or other crowd sourced platforms), is also not User Generated content"
- 16:21:00 [JF]
- JS: the point of that section is to 'rope off' what is or isn't in scope
- 16:21:35 [JF]
- Q+
- 16:21:59 [JF]
- PK: that last section is where I have concerns
- 16:22:17 [JF]
- Jeanne: should that only be in editor's note, or elsewhere
- 16:22:27 [JF]
- PK: would prefer to ONLY see in editor's note
- 16:23:03 [JF]
- ...also don't see clarity in that topic... it's outside of the note, but do not see it clearly in definitions.
- 16:23:21 [JF]
- ...we also should not be defining what social media platforms can or cannot do
- 16:23:32 [ToddLibby]
- ToddLibby has left #silver-conf
- 16:23:37 [JF]
- JS: we are planning on doing that guideline by guideline
- 16:23:43 [ToddLibby_]
- ToddLibby_ has joined #silver-conf
- 16:23:49 [JF]
- PK: would prefer to leave it open for public feedback
- 16:24:53 [JF]
- PK: as mentioned last week.. this is a potential hole. If company ONLY has a social media presence we do not want commercial content to be excluded
- 16:25:14 [JF]
- JS: there was talk of that appearng in seperate guidance
- 16:25:47 [JF]
- PK: not sure we had agreement. Issue is defining who is authorized (and when) to be "official spokesperson" versus private citizen
- 16:26:15 [PeterKorn]
- q?

- q?
- 16:26:20 [sajkaj]
- ack jf
- 16:27:17 [JF]
- JF: don't see how anyone could enforce those distincitons
- 16:27:59 [JF]
- PK: also, where to define the company sponsored sub-set (if company retweets somebody else's content...)
- 16:28:07 [PeterKorn]
- q?
- 16:28:08 [sajkaj]
- q?
- 16:28:34 [JF]
- ...don't think we should go down that road. The other concern is what we want - the bulk of comments - is on the overall proposal
- 16:28:46 [JF]
- but this Editor's Note is drawing all the attention
- 16:29:54 [JF]
- JS: seems there are w 2 questions: corporate responsibility (who and when), and then the "hosting platform's responsability"
- 16:30:15 [JF]
- PK: we spend a fair bit of time with that already - but that then leads to the current issue
- 16:31:30 [Bryan]
- q+
- 16:31:38 [JF]
- PK: the concern is understood, but believes we are drilling in too deep - we have guidance at this time
- 16:31:52 [sajkaj]
- ack br
- 16:32:18 [JF]
- BT: if someone uploads a video with flashing (critical error) - who should be responsable?
- 16:32:27 [JF]
- JS: that should be able to be tested for
- 16:32:44 [sajkaj]
- q?
- 16:33:01 [JF]
- PK: we do have something there - in discussions with Makoto. Part of the responsibilities is that you also need to be advising the user on parameters
- 16:33:18 [JF]
- ...and using tools (AI, etc.) to help ameliorate those issues
- 16:33:26 [JF]
- JS: in Steps to Conform section
- 16:34:12 [JF]
- [discussion - may have lost some content]
- 16:34:32 [JF]
- PK: to the larger question, we do speak to that generally [JF: did?]
- 16:35:12 [JF]
- BT: do we look at the severity level as well? We can't solve everything, but based on severity should we focus on that?
- 16:35:29 [JF]
- PK: we note that until we have a new scoring proposal we will have to wait
- 16:36:54 [JF]
- PK & JS: looking at versions of previous editions - will need to do some cleanup
- 16:38:04 [sajkaj]
- q?
- 16:38:17 [JF]
- PK: is there disagreement with suggesting that this is too big of a 'can of worms'?
- 16:38:32 [JF]
- and that we will need to come back with guidance there?
- 16:39:02 [JF]
- JS: inclined that we want to say 'something' (but not too much). Goal is to solicit comments. There is a balance that needs to be met
- 16:39:18 [JF]
- we also had a note that hosting platforms need to do some of the lifting there
- 16:39:21 [KimD]
- q+
- 16:41:49 [JF]
- [discussion on how far we can 'push' platforms]
- 16:42:05 [JF]
- JF: is it (will it be) a MUST, SHOULD, or MAY?
- 16:43:28 [PeterKorn]

- 16:43:47 [sajkaj]

- 16:43:56 [JF]
- JF: affordance versus quality issue
- 16:44:15 [sajkaj]
- ack kim
- 16:44:25 [JF]
- KD: don't want to go down a rabbit hole, but anticipates question tp define
- 16:44:34 [JF]
- what is 'social media'
- 16:45:14 [JF]
- we have platforms/tools that allows for hosting of content (legal evidence for example) that isn't 'social' but it is 'user generated'
- 16:45:30 [JF]
- Jeanne: believe we had made that distinction
- 16:46:10 [JF]
- KD: hope for that. But google definitions muddy the water. So do we need to more carefully define "social media" in this situation
- 16:46:49 [JF]
- PK: believes defining social media is a rat-hole. Believes that key sentence is the one that focuses on "who" the contributor is
- 16:47:28 [PeterKorn]
- q-
- 16:47:36 [JF]
- ...the distinction being the ability to add content is not "public' - requires some kind of authorization

- 16:48:19 [JF]
- PK: but hearing that we need to do more work on the wiki page. Hoping for draft from Makoto, and also to address more clearly the questions raised at AG WG
- 16:49:56 [PeterKorn]
- "Key question: how to treat content submitted by representatives of a company via the user-generated contribution mechanisms of a site."
- 16:52:56 [JF]
- JF: wonders if providing an example (e.g. social media marketing role in an Org)
- 16:56:01 [JF]
- [discussion about roles - and how this is a fundamental question]
- 16:56:09 [sajkaj]
- q?
- 16:57:12 [JF]
- Jeanne: one of the concerns raised in AG WG...
- 16:57:26 [JF]
- JS: is this a legal question of a WCAG question
- 16:58:05 [JF]
- KD: if a post says "Thomson Reuters" that's pretty clear, but if it doesn't then...
- 16:59:32 [JF]
- JS: want to get higher quality alt texts, but the second question really is about "community groups"
- 17:00:41 [PeterKorn]
- "We seek feedback on how to treat content submitted by organizations via the entry-points for user-generated contributions to a site (e.g., official contributions to the social media presence of an organization), as well as content contributed by someone who is member of an organization where the contribution relates in some way to that organization (e.g. an employee of an entertainment company replying to post by a fan on an unofficia[CUT]
- 17:00:54 [PeterKorn]
- "work for that entertainment company)"
