16:11:28 [Jennie]
...There may be outcomes within a guideline that are mature
16:11:39 [Jennie]

16:15:55 [Jennie]

16:19:51 [Jennie]
Sarah H: This is a bullet on readable.
16:20:09 [Jennie]
...I believe the concern raised has to do with the testable/readable dichotomoy
16:20:15 [Jennie]
(sorry for the spelling!)
16:20:30 [Jennie]
Sarah H: My something else has to do with the response
16:20:55 [Jennie]
...The response is saying in a different way what I am agreeing with, but perhaps we want to avoid reinforcing the readability/testability
16:21:06 [Jennie]
...and perhaps revisit the Requirements of readable
16:21:22 [Jennie]
...and be sure we have the simple and objective we are hoping for WCAG 3
16:21:29 [Jennie]
...I think David M's addition speaks to that as well
16:21:38 [Jennie]
...but perhaps we want to be more explicit
16:21:51 [Jennie]
...Add a bullet and add a testable, main bullet under usability

Alastair G: There may not be a guideline for clear writing in WCAG 3 but if there is, the document itself should pass that
16:23:36 [Jennie]
...Should we make a statement that says the document will ulimately pass its own requirements
16:24:01 [Jennie]
...The problem now is we are saying that this can't be met - then the entire world will feel that they can't be clear and simple either
16:24:06 [Chuck_]
q?
16:24:10 [Jennie]
...like doctors and others
16:24:38 [Jennie]
Chuck: Sarah H - you highlighted concern about readability and testability; and you had some support for David M's suggestion
16:25:01 [Jennie]
...Did that satisfy the dichotomy issue, or is there more work to be done?
16:25:06 [Lauriat_]
q+ to note that we do say what garrison proposed in the Requirements: "Be accessible and conform to the Guidelines. Note: This design principle will move to the Requirements section once the Conformance section is completed and we determine a specific measurement of compliance."
16:25:09 [Jennie]
Sarah H: There is the response to the github issue 41
16:25:36 [Jennie]
...Maybe David M's response is adding something to Rachael's response in the survey that talks about readability without compromising accuracy
16:25:49 [Jennie]
...I think we have an opportunity to address some of what Wilco raised? In the issue
16:25:55 [Jennie]
...And speak to the juggling we need to do
16:26:06 [Jennie]
...And make it a priority to use clear and objective language

...Are you saying there is guidance for testers, and guidance for non testers?
16:28:50 [Chuck_]
q?
16:28:51 [Jennie]
...If so, which would be required/normative?
16:29:04 [Jennie]
Rachael: My understanding (may not be everyone's)
16:29:08 [Jennie]
...Like text alternatives
16:29:19 [Jennie]
...This is not much different than WCAG 2.2
16:29:33 [Jennie]
...Beneath it, there is all kinds of other information that is technical, aimed at certain audiences
16:29:43 [Jennie]
...Those other audiences have different content requirements
16:29:53 [Jennie]
...I was under the impression that this content could be different

...If that is not your understanding, that would be good to understand
16:30:13 [Chuck_]
q?
16:30:17 [Jennie]
Wilco: It suggests more to me like that would be the whole document
16:30:39 [Jennie]
...If it is limited to just the guidelines, I understand. But the text in the requirements document reads different from what I am hearing here
16:30:50 [Jennie]
Chuck: I am not sure how to craft the full question
16:31:01 [Jennie]
...the poll question
16:31:21 [Jennie]
Rachael: Maybe the answer is we move passed this one, review outside the meeting, then reapproach this question
16:31:39 [Chuck_]
proposed RESOLUTION: Discuss the intent, and revisit a response later.
16:31:54 [Jennie]
Chuck: The resolution just documents the decision for those reviewing the notes later on
16:31:59 [Jennie]
...It does not close it
16:32:03 [Rachael]
Just to note the requirement states "The core guidelines are understandable by a non-technical audience. Text and presentation are usable and understandable through the use of plain language, structure, and design."
