14:30:15 [sajkaj]
q+
14:30:49 [sarahhorton]
... what it is, why do we have it, Where are the lines between measurement, conformance, and regulation? Do secondary goals exist that a conformance secion is attempting to achieve? How is the WCAG conformance section used in the real world?

... permeable, maybe should not be in global conformance definition, but maybe by outcome / method
14:32:56 [sarahhorton]
... example, Obama's letter, on verge of OCR for handwriting, becomes achievable to require rather than rope off
14:33:48 [sarahhorton]
Rachael: Scope goals, rather than solving, aiming for list of key challenges, conversation points, maybe recommendation but not final solution
14:34:08 [sarahhorton]
jeanne: List of pros / cons for goals? What's deliverable
14:34:55 [sarahhorton]
Rachael: Key conversation points that need to be agreed on, probably a decision that will result, rather than the decision, share the conversations and thinking behind it

Conformance is how well something, such as a product, service or a system, meets a specified standard and may refer more specifically to: Conformance testing, testing to determine whether a product or system meets some specified standard.
