Joint working group meetings and break-out sessions planned for TPAC 2021.

JW: Notes changes in meetings

COGA TF requested joint meeting

JW: Janina updates?

https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Meetings/TPAC_2021

JS: We have two RQTF meetings on the 20th

Near the top

In the first week of TPAC on the 20th at this time, we will meet with COGA

They will drive the agenda

Then straight into Timed text

And the SAUR - Media Synchronization

These are the key items that are scheduled

These times are confirmed.

JS: Thanks Janina and to other for organisation

JS: Comments?

Synchronization Accessibility User Requirements: state of the Call for Consensus.

JS: Expect things that develop to go there

JW: This is the SAUR document

<janina> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa-admin/2021Sep/0000.html

There is an active CFC, that has been issued - it ends midnight next week (Weds)

JS: Any formal member of APA is invited to review and comment

[Boston time]

JW: It is progressing

JS: The reason for the longer timeframe is that there are a number of holidays at the moment

We want to cover 5 business days - we are doing that, exactly.

JW: Thanks all round

We have also responded to the FCC related comments.

JOC: When will I get the FPWD branch going?

JS: Yes, you should - not expecting objections and there have been been positive responses.

JOC: OK, I can do that.

JOC: Asks about SAUR blog post with Steve?

JW: We can do that.

SN: I can work with Jason.

JS: Can be done in email?

JOC: I will forward sample blog posts and related things.

JW: We will discuss again next week.

Accessibility of Remote Meetings.

JW: Last time we discussed it, we were thinking of next stages.

There have been some changes - I proposed some revisions

These have been discussed and are included

So what process do we want for public review and status?

Open for comments

SH: Thanks for all the input, v helpful

SH: It’s in a good place - q to Judy around plan?

Any update?

JB: Josh and I spoke about this.

JB: Shawn had concerns around how the remote meetings doc fits in.

JOC: Can you do that?

JB: Yup.

JB: We need to work out where this fits.

I’ll follow up with Shawn

JS: Sounds good. EO is the main intersection point here.

JW: Let’s make progress here, and see that that looks like.

JS: I want to promote the notion of W3C note - either APA only or EO only or joint

For two reasons - getting the widest public review on the way to note status, and also around the process regarding statements

JB: Thanks for the clarification

JB: EO does not do notes

I don’t think they would co-sponsor etc - they are busy

regarding the note track, Michael has concerns around how this intersects with other notes from APA

JB: Do others support what Janina is saying?

FYI Statements are a new W3C process option

JW: I’ve read the draft - gives overview

SH: I do support Janina

It’s also useful as a supporting document for the RAUR

SH: Are there reasons why it shouldn’t be a note?

JB: <gives overview of W3C publications>

<janina> https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/Drafts/#note-track

<Zakim> Judy, you wanted to describe the W3C Process Statement option

JB: Janina is right that we could send this on a path

JB: There are pros and cons

JB: We could do that outside the meeting and include a W3C statement in the options

SH: That would be helpful

JW: Let’s see what pros and cons look like after EO have engaged with the question.

JB: Shawn has many roles

JW: When will we bring it back?

JB: Next week please

WAI-CooP symposium.

<Judy> [JB clarifies that the discussion will be with Shawn, not directly with EOWG]

JW: This is the Community of Practice project

An important element is that this will explore issues with Emerging technology and practices.

The organisers are arranging a symposium

APA and Research Questions are participating.

JW: Josh?

<jasonjgw> Josh: notes that APA will essentially be co-organizing the symposium. Several APA/RQTF participants have contributed to preliminary discussions of the Symposium.

JS: I also contributed

JB: There is a timing issue they want to announce today.

JB: We hope to get this through the announcement cycle today.

So there were questions around APA and RQTF role.

JS: My additions are given in the last hour.

JW: They are canvassing for research topics that would be of interest.

All here are welcome to participate.

JOC: Acks seeing Janina proposal

JB: Carlos’s proposal seemed to be lighter.

JW: Some tweaking is needed to what Carlos is saying.

He lists Pronunciation but it isn’t clear that it refers to TTS.

JB: Research Questions may not all have seen this either, can you resend?

JS: Happy to do that.

JW: There will be opportunities for engagement with the symposium

Anything else to note?

JOC: We just need to work out what the term is that we are.

JOC: <gives overview of latest draft symposium draft from Carlos>

JW: The call is broad - and there are a list of topics that should engage people

JW: Comments?

<Raja> If there is no active link to the symposium , is there a link to previous symposium?

JB: Any objections to ‘RQTF invites..’ wording?

<Raja> No objection

JS: Can we say APA - Research Questions invites? Keep link?

<Raja> Yes, I like that

JW: There is a broad audience here

Natural Language Interface Accessibility User Requirements.

JW: This is an early editors draft and once the SAUR is ready we would start working in this

And getting it over the line.

Josh is busy now on getting SAUR ready for publishing

Please do re-familiarise yourself with the NAUR

What is in main will reflect the work done so far - there is some work in a branch, that I will review with Josh

But proposed material is in main

JW: Let’s do that over the next couple of weeks, and as soon as SAUR is ready we can look at the Natural Language Interface document (NAUR)

<crickets>

JW: There is a good window to review and get ready for public review

JW: Let’s bring this back next week.

WAI-CooP symposium.

Miscellaneous topics.

JW: There is the topic of Flash mitigation

Anything else from APA?

JS: Nothing we’ve not touched on.

We are hoping to progress

JS: We have good stuff in the pipeline, the SAUR, Flash mitigation - exciting when we can do stuff that fixes problems
