slh: WCAG 2.2 timeline?
it´s just a Proposed Rec, but we expect attention, so should prep
same for a WCAG 3 WD
for WCAG 2.2 Rec, we could do a press release, do we want to?
rbm: last week July / first week August for 2.2 Rec
mc: depends on the PR being published this week, might slip to next week
slh: keep me in loop in timing updates
rbm: will do
slh: re the talking points, WCAG 3 we´re probably a couple weeks out
rbm: we´re close, balancing priorities
slh: summarizing dates, not we don´t want the two WCAG versions published too close to each other
rbm: how imporant is press release?
slh: in initial discussion with Comm, we decided it´s less of a deal than 2.1
testimonials are part of a press release, there can be advantages to having orgs say they support 2.2
it does take a lot of time
rbm: I lean towards no, but can be convinced, will follow up in email
gk: a lot of specs will be updated based on the Rec
that makes it a big deal
slh: agree we need to get the info out
do we need to do in press release format?
rbm: what is work / value ratio?
we have a lot going on, I´d rather not add work
lw: consider this is also from the new W3C
note that WCAG is a keyword now
this is an opportunity for W3C to tell its new story with a new version of a high profile standard
that appeals not just to the techies, but to the managers
for sure word will get out, but a press release will draw attention
rbm: that´s compelling
lw: this is also a way to promote WAI
and solicit testimonials about the impact of WAI on the world
I´m interested to help see this happen
rbm: we have to do this in a month?
slh: yes, but we need runway for reviews, translations, draft for testimonials
rbm: let´s look for a time to get together
lw: insert essential / core W3C activity wording if you can
<Zakim> maryjom, you wanted to say WCAG2ICT also intends to publish a FPWD in July
mjm: expect to publish WCAG2ICT draft soon, hopefully end of July
are there timing considerations around these publications?
this version will include the 2.1 criteria
we were waiting for 2.2 to stabilize before tackling that
mc: how does this timing fit with the early July and early Aug pubs?
rbm: if you can bring to group mid July, with first draft review it will probably take to mid Aug to pub
mjm: ok
AOB
mck: as TPAC approaches, would like a strategy for publication of ARIA APG
can we coordinate TPAC meetings here?
various stakeholders we want to review
also want to subsume some related resources
potentially including WhatWG and OpenUI resources
mc: suggest get an meeting schedule as part of ARIA meeting, and use WAI cc list to announce
ts: some board / AB people pulling together a meeting
jn: keep ARIA chairs in loop
mck: yup
Publishing WG
ts: the EPub WG has closed
the Publishing WG is doing maintenance
the community group will do epub development
we´ll keep working on accessibility in W3C
gk: we´re working on updating the user experience guide a11y metadata
