Publication announcements https://www.w3.org/WAI/cc/wiki/WAI_Announcement_Drafts
[Introductions]
JO: Apologizes to Shawn. Roy was super-helpful about announcements. It suddenly just worked. Everything is there for Shawn to do what she needs to. If she needs anything to reach out.
JB: If it isn't on the WAI home page, it isn't done.
JO: It is all queued up to go, but we haven't published because there was another round of feedback.
JB: Did Shawn have a chance to give feedback on the announcements for XAUR?
JO: Yes.
Janina: The announcement was in the mailbox overnight, so I assumed it was overnight. SLH said that she would have to finish the announcements
JO: I am now more comfortable with the process now. I feel better about the process and the future publications will be more smooth.
Janina: We have another for you in a few weeks.
JB: Any other upcoming publications?
Janina: Personalization is one issue left before CR. We have had trouble getting attention on it because of August.
JB: Do you want me to contact Internationalization?
Janina: Please do. I will email the issue number to you
GK: In the publishing community group, we have a report that will be finished on Accessibility MetaData.
… On 7 September we will be all done. Currently adding alt text and minor adjustments.
JB: Please contact Shawn, she will need 5 day turnaround.
Scribe, rssagent, agenda check. (Please add your present+ to IRC)
Any new documents in your WG or TFs to let other WAI WGs or TFs know about?
JB: Any new documents?
<ChrisLoiselle> Jeanne: We will be doing an explainer to go with WCAG3
<ChrisLoiselle> Judy: What type ? Public ?
<ChrisLoiselle> Jeanne: Yes, but we are trying to follow TAG format
<ChrisLoiselle> Judy: Not sure TAG would be needed.
<ChrisLoiselle> Jeanne: framework fits. We will taking design decisions and making that public
Janina: We had a problem in APA that a TAG Explainer wanted to be much shorter.
JB: The needs are different from the Explainer and what the TAG needs doesn't necessarily align to what the public needs.
Jeanne: I find that very helpful to not have to follow the TAG format.
TPAC planning, anything to promote, anything stuck?
<janina> https://
JB: We are getting close to TPAC. Last time we got an update on joint meetings. There are a few session opportunities left.
Janina: THis is an active APA page and expect to get dates and times in the next week.
JB: Does anyone feel uncertain about TPAC?
[no answers]
Janina: There is a proposal on the table to create a WAI-wide glossary
… there was an announcement this morning that videos were due. APA got a lot of milage from videos that APA did last year and plan to do another videos this year.
… it went to the chairs list.
JB: Was it aligned with lightning talk list?
Janina: No, it was from Dom.
JB: Are the task force facilitators engaged about TPAC.
CL: I spoke with Jon Avila and ShawnH. We are having our first meeting next week. We aren't going to have a breakout session.
<Judy> https://
<Judy> Basic info on this year's TPAC is here: https://
KP: I discussed with Roy whether to have a meeting with COGA. I'm not sure where that proposal is.
… Roy is helping with getting more members.
Judy: Talks to TPAC and synergy between groups , etc. In a Zoom world, we should be pre-planning where we can
Jeanne: We are talking about breakout sessions and our contributions on our efforts.
Tzviya: I agree with Judy. On travel restrictions, I find tools we could use in a virtual space could be beneficial. Let us map out what we can do for next 6 months plus. I'd love to hear from the group.
<Zakim> tzviya, you wanted to add to what Judy said
Judy: I do enjoy Mindly as a mind mapping tool. It is accessible. Can generate HTML and text , could be simple mapping tool to use.
Judy: We are looking at tools and accessibility of those tools and document those issues where we can .
Kathy: I found TPAC in person to be helpful. Our group is very small right now , so increasing membership is a goal. At moment, we don't have specific meetings set, but work in progress.
Judy: Michael can help as team contact w/ TPAC
Judy: Try to plan ahead to engage as much as you can, where you can.
Zakim , next item
<Zakim> Judy, you wanted to comment on "mindly" which seems to be an accessible mind-mapping app
Checking in on glossary
Janina: We want this to be an item that we can discuss. We are looking for general agreement and makes sense to do.
Janina: We hope to scrape glossary terms and cross reference. We'd then id reference and build glossary on fly as a resource.
Judy: Thank you. Could I ask for reactions please ?
Jeanne: We think this will be very helpful in WCAG3 work. Having a standard definition is going to clarify things.
KimP: This is needed and will help. There may be place where things are explained differently, say a dictionary may be beneficial , rather than straight glossary.
I.e. first definition and second.
KimP: Recognizing where somethings are defined in different context and why
Judy: Does that work for you , Janina?
Janina: I would say we would provide a id ref to definition 1 and then another to definition 2. I.e. media as a term.
Tzviya: I have some experience in text books setting, so please reach out to me if you'd like.
Janina: Thanks!
Janina: Half day meeting in week 2 right now. In flux, may change on how much time dedicated to discussing this topic of Glossary at TPAC
Judy: I would bet larger than an hour, less than half a day.
George: Are you looking at the process for the editorial aspect?
Janina: Yes.
Janina: We'd start scraping glossary terms and then maintenance will be an issue.
Proposed new ARIA Charter https://raw.githack.com/w3c/aria/charter-2021/charter.html
Judy: Charters typically renewed on two to three year basis.
Judy: Will you be reviewing proposed charter?
Tzviya: I will , yes.
Judy: Kathy? will you be reviewing?
Kathy: Yes, we have rules around roles, so I will review.
Judy: Please review dependencies and whether or not your group would interact with the group.
Judy: You can raise issues in GitHub if you'd like. That is the area to file issues and comments

Judy: Can we capture the bugs so they can be addressed?

Janina: I'm not sure , it was around agenda items.
Janina: I will ask her to log the issues she encountered.
Judy: Do you want me to include Phillipe or others that are developing the calendar on a call?
Janina: I'll be trying next week and will report back.
