- 14:10:35 [EA]
- Julie update on Clear Language - deck sent around about which aspects of Clear Language can be tested via the different outputs - higher interrelater reliability versus lower - need proceedural testing for the latter

- Mental health - functional needs - categories mentioned, needed more granularities
- 14:38:52 [EA]
- Rashmi commented that there is no response time mentioned - user may have executive functional difficulties - pressure causing difficulties with response time
- 14:40:30 [EA]
- Lisa added it under executive function. Asked if happy with mental function and regulation - emotion, mood, stress pressure, anxiety, fears etc. hard to categorise with overlaps

- next item
- 14:57:54 [EA]
- Tomorrow last day of WHO feedback - did anyone provide feedback? Lisa said there were very specific comments for each chapter. Look at the questions before you do the review. The summary document did not have the chapters so you need to look at the whole document.
- 15:00:15 [EA]
- John K only just getting back to it all - felt processing part not very clearly incorporated in the functional needs - memory - executive - task switching etc
- 15:01:00 [EA]
- Lisa felt that they needed to add ' and any supplements' when looking at WCAG . Plus testing ...

- 15:10:38 [lisa_]
- q+
- 15:10:40 [EA]
- WCAG 3.0 have 4 types of tests - just need to see if we can test the outputs or do we need to think about the process ie the inputs.
- 15:11:17 [EA]
- So trying to find what can be tested as yes/no outputs against the procedural testing for inputs
- 15:12:25 [stevelee]
- stevelee has joined #coga
- 15:12:32 [EA]
- So started with acronyms... could set up test that would be yes/no but common words need a look at the process
- 15:14:08 [EA]
- Need to each draft the type of tests possible - Rachael asked if it would be possible to sort out this activity at the end of June
- 15:14:58 [EA]
- Lisa mentioned that there have been some changes to the labels - now have some clear guides as to what can be done when testing
- 15:15:51 [EA]
- Lisa feels there are the same levels of testability that has been discussed
- 15:17:56 [EA]
- Lisa felt that it was possible to automate many more tests than have been suggested before going for the procedural inputs.
- 15:20:08 [EA]
- Julie suggested that even the example of 1500 words is arbitrary and we need to base it all on research and what type of site does this work on ... so many differences - caps may not help and better to have a process for thinking about it all across different audiences across different sites.
- 15:21:29 [EA]
- Lisa agreed we need to address basis for saying what is included in the test using the example of the number of words needed.
- 15:21:43 [Becca_Monteleone]
- q+
- 15:21:46 [EA]
- Core vocabulary has been well researched over time.

- jeanne has joined #coga
- 15:22:31 [lisa_]
- ack next
- 15:23:04 [jeanne]
- q+ to talk about Test Condition type of test.
- 15:23:17 [EA]
- Julie asked how do you account for different words used amongst groups.
- 15:24:18 [EA]
- Julie feels it is much more complex and needs to stay as a procedural test
- 15:25:15 [lisa_]
- q+
- 15:25:31 [EA]
- Becca added that it is complex - most common word lists can be restrictive such as disability not mentioned in top 1000
- 15:26:17 [julierawe]
- q+
- 15:26:26 [EA]
- How do we articulate a procedure that reduces the risk of bias on behalf of the developer - e.g. who is the website audience - they may say that it would never include someone with a learning disability
- 15:26:29 [lisa_]
- ack next
- 15:29:43 [EA]
- Jeanne added that she also feels we should be cautious in choosing word lists - lots of criticism for the reasons already said. Jeanne felt that the tests had been really well explained but also need subjective test and test condition - this is our style guide or this is our list words and that is what is measured against - this is because you want to know how well they did rather than putting a straight jacket on them that would stifle creativity.
- 15:30:07 [lisa_]
- ack next
- 15:30:08 [Zakim]
- jeanne, you wanted to talk about Test Condition type of test.
- 15:30:24 [EA]
- Jeanne went on to say that there is a problem about using a restrictive vocabulary.
- 15:31:03 [EA]
- Need to give people the flexibility - give them the tools works with the procedural test or test condition is a good way to make this happen
- 15:31:29 [EA]
- Lisa suggested we need to take this forward by working out what part of the issue can be tested
- 15:32:03 [EA]
- then make that test and add a procedural test on top. Asked - where would have a warning? This allows you to relook at something
- 15:32:36 [EA]
- Content Usable had some extensions for WCAG
- 15:34:10 [EA]
- Need to add a glossary and guidance to add support complex words
- 15:35:35 [EA]
- Lisa - core words + fringe vocabulary that includes the complex words that might need explanations
- 15:37:18 [lisa_]

- q+
- 15:37:58 [lisa_]
- ack next
- 15:38:05 [EA]
- Julie - taking Becca's point about bias - need to make this procedural testing involve user testing with a diverse group
- 15:39:58 [lisa_]
- ack next
- 15:40:02 [EA]
- Julia went on to say that the accessibility tester may not know the process is that the site developers have used when requesting content for the site
- 15:41:48 [EA]
- Need to see if the owners have included guidance about way they have solved the issues of ease of use, complexity and accessibility which may also include the levels of understanding of content etc
- 15:42:04 [julierawe]
- q+
- 15:42:19 [EA]
- Lisa suggested that not many actually do user testing so need to make most things testable
- 15:42:22 [lisa_]
- ack next
- 15:42:45 [jeanne]
- q+
- 15:43:35 [EA]
- Julie - did not want to equate user testing with procedural testing - need to make sure that it is clear how the procedural testing is done with all the components involved that can be checked.
- 15:45:04 [EA]
- Julie feels clear words is not testable objectively
- 15:45:39 [EA]
- Lisa has made several versions of the idea of objectively testing for clear words.
- 15:46:35 [EA]
- Jeanne wanted to remind everyone that this type of procedural testing can still be required - it is not optional.

- 15:50:39 [EA]
- Jeanne feels it is really important that companies can improve their accessibility with or without tools
- 15:50:50 [EA]
- Need flexibility
- 15:52:07 [EA]
- Lisa also added the ways in which automated testing can be done on clear words.
- 15:52:49 [EA]
- Julie is open to the idea of testing automatically but feels the procedural testing will also be hard.
- 15:53:58 [EA]
- May be do not start with this complicated issue - need to build in flexibility - can conditional testing solve this issue - if it can we can see how it goes
- 15:54:07 [julierawe]
- q+
- 15:54:13 [EA]
- Lisa has offered to find her original work
- 15:54:57 [jeanne]
- s/with or without tools/with or without automated tools
- 15:55:16 [EA]
- Lisa suggested whether in the next working session lets see what can be testable - brainstorm all the tests and then see what has to be testable.
- 15:56:13 [EA]
- Thank you Jeanne for your note... Please everyone note it.
- 15:58:33 [EA]
- Julie asked if website owners have to make it possible for anyone to test a page with any test tool. .
- 15:59:08 [julierawe]
- Correction: Julie is asking if conditional testing can include the testee providing a list of words before the conditional test is done
- 15:59:56 [lisa_]
- prevouse versions are at https://rawgit.com/w3c/coga/master/extension/status.html
- 16:00:22 [EA]
- Jeanne suggested that now with dynamic webpages there is an issue with always getting the same results as things keep changing. Feels it is important that there is a requirement for accessibility but now we could start to make website comply with a procedural type of test.
- 16:00:42 [lisa_]
- https://rawgit.com/w3c/coga/master/extension/plain-language-a.html wcag issue 30 https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/pull/135
- 16:00:55 [lisa_]
- https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/30
- 16:01:01 [jeanne]
- You could build a tool that would allow people to download their vocabulary. The prototype tool that Francis build allows you to load a list of words.
- 16:01:30 [lisa_]
- q?
- 16:01:41 [jeanne]
- Yes, that puts it into the procedural bucket, unless we make a change to conformance that forces people to make declarations
- 16:01:53 [jeanne]
- Lawyers will push back strongly against that
- 16:01:57 [EA]
- Julie added that there is an issue with different sites such as needing site information before starting to test for accessibility so not all will be automated and some things will have to be explored so that a procedural test can be undertaken.
- 16:02:54 [EA]
- Lisa suggested that meta data can be used to help explain procedural tasks - such as word lists that can then be validated.
- 16:04:29 [EA]
- Lisa asked where do we go next to see what tests we have and what needs to be procedural - what might be achievable as a test for the next working session
- 16:05:33 [EA]
- Julie said she will switch to a Google doc for more content than the decks (slides) and add Lisa's links to clear words. Feels the exercise will take longer that originally thought.
- 16:06:11 [EA]
- Julie feels it is too early to present at TPAC - need more discussion to finish the sorting exercise before drafting.
- 16:06:52 [jeanne]
- The Evaluating Procedures proposal will be presented at TPAC. It would be great to have these examples for that.
- 16:08:14 [EA]
- Lisa suggested collecting tests, do some research and then perhaps face to face at TPAC as next Clear Language meeting is 1st Sept.
