<Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to say to inlcude "avoid prioritization by functional need" - recommend prioritize by context

jeanne: would like to avoid priority by functional need.

<jenniferS> Can you provide an example of what that would look like, Jeanne?

<Zakim> MichaelC, you wanted to say making unknowns known is an action - but not the first one

<jenniferS> where did I go?

<jenniferS> 1+

MC: that level of detail is too much for this PR
… focus on actionable steps
… if equity needs to be a cyclical process if we are to be taken seriously.
… start with what we got.

jen: It there an example of don't do this.

jeanne: A, AA, AAA

mc: A, AA, AAA not intentionally inequitable but it worked out that way.

Review PR for the Requirements document

<MichaelC> https://raw.githack.com/w3c/silver/equity-proposal/requirements/index.html#equity

mc: starts with editors notes
… (Reads PR)

<jenniferS> "relevant user groups" — may need some explanation, could attract ire

jen: "relevant user groups" — may need some explanation, could attract ire

MC: suggestion for a different word?

jen: accessibility specific?

MC: yes.

(group wordsmithing)

jen: that's good.

<jenniferS> That's good enough! The word "relevant" was the one I worried about.

<Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to say that I like it, Issue Severity proposal is heading toward priority by Functional Need. That's why I think we need it for TPAC.

jeanne: like what you have done.
… concerned that issue severity is heading in in conflict with equity.

mc: may want to come up with some measurements in the next 6 months.

<jeanne> +1 for a six month project, not 1 week

mc: where structural equities may exist, etc.
… will be an active work item job.

<jenniferS> No objection here with the one edit. Thank you for the work on this!
