Wilco_: is the issue that we are taking things away?

Wilco_: we don't think of this as a serious problem

Wilco_: hard to get it accepted

sajkaj: may be on to something

JF: key selling for WCAG 3 is that you are good but not great

JF: if constrained we should point to something normative

shadi: different issues might be weighted different

shadi: another exception might not come from WCAG

shadi: issue in some situation may be policy issue

sajkaj: add some practical things that are achievable

sajkaj: hair salon in use case example of where to leave to other process

sajkaj: ASL good example

sajkaj: maybe will see more

PeterKorn: resonate with Wilco

PeterKorn: absent conformance it's tough to bring people along

PeterKorn: not on a path to getting where we want to be

PeterKorn: that's informing me

<JF> +1 to Peter - we need to start being pragmatic to our ask

PeterKorn: do we refine now and be upfront?

PeterKorn: or do we let this sit and focus on something else?
