Announcements [from maryjom] 14:04:19 2. FPWD public comments [from maryjom] 14:04:19 3. Survey Results: Review draft updates to SC Problematic for Closed Functionality [from maryjom] 14:04:49 q+ 14:05:00 Chuck: Still dealing with 2 formal objections, but momentum is positive. Incorporating Deque comments so should resolve that one. Another one on internationalisation - working with objectors 14:05:22 ... So hoping just be a few days late - publish early September 14:05:29 q+ to ask about commenting deadline for FPWD 14:05:38 q+ to ask if these two formal objections are public facing ? 14:05:53 ... But timings depend on how it goes 14:06:08 ack shadi 14:06:08 shadi, you wanted to ask about commenting deadline for FPWD 14:06:20 ack bruce_bailey 14:06:20 bruce_bailey, you wanted to ask if these two formal objections are public facing ? 14:06:26 Bryan_Trogdon has joined #wcag2ict 14:06:32 bruce_bailey: Are objections public facing? 14:06:36 present+ 14:06:49 Chuck: Believes they are public and can provide details offline if needed 14:07:55 thank you 14:08:22 https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/2023-07_PR_WCAG22/results 14:08:31 shadi: Not sure if all have access to the discussion 14:09:15 shadi: Question was different. On first public draft, what is the commenting deadline for WCAG2ICT? 14:09:27 i get "not allowed" but no problem and not unexpected 14:09:36 q+ 14:09:44 q- 14:09:47 shadi: Looks like we forgot to put a time on when to put comments out. 14:09:56 maryjom: Usually it is 30 days from publication 14:09:59 "oops" 14:10:06 q+ 14:10:25 shadi: Given the importance of this doc, suggest it is 4 weeks 14:10:40 maryjom: so Roughly 15th September 14:10:51 scribe+ Chuck 14:11:10 q? 14:11:13 maryjom: Also missing some details on how to make comments 14:11:17 ack PhilDay 14:11:34 q+ to say anyone can file issue any time 14:11:35 PhilDay: I wonder if we should make it 4 weeks from when we publish from when we state there's a deadline. Just to give people enough time. 14:11:52 MaryJo: I don't think it's unreasonable. I'll get with Daniel and Shawn to make the adjustments. 14:12:17 bruce_bailey: Does it matter? Anyone can file an issue at any time. 14:12:28 q+ 14:12:31 ack bru 14:12:31 bruce_bailey, you wanted to say anyone can file issue any time 14:12:32 maryjom: Correct, but having a deadline gives some impetus 14:12:37 ack bruce_bailey 14:13:12 shadi: Agree with usefulness of deadline 14:13:12 ack Chuck 14:13:12 ack Ch 14:13:26 q+ 14:13:26 Chuck: Concur that it doesn't matter, so agree with 4 weeks from "now" not from 15 Aug 14:13:32 i had thought that not having due date was a choice 14:13:36 maryjom: Other thing to bring up 14:13:48 q+ 14:14:00 It would be nice to claim it was a strategy. It was an "oops". 14:14:15 ... because of link address that was used, it broke links to the older document, so these links from our document do not currently work. Still to be fully resolved. 14:14:25 ... However it does mean that EN and others will point to the new document 14:14:37 ack dmontalvo 14:15:25 ack bruce_bailey 14:15:25 dmontalvo: Given we are working on how we can fix the link issue - will update the group on how to fix that problem to still be able to refer to the old document. Deadline can be added to the communication 14:16:03 bruce_bailey: All for a nice URL going to our draft, but concerned with a big red banner saying it is deprecated when it is not yet (until ours is fully published). 14:16:15 dmontalvo: Agree we need to work on this, but it may take a while to reverse 14:16:20 i am all for making people work a little hard to turn up older version 14:16:41 maryjom: Has created an issue on links and banners and will assign to the correct people 14:16:53 maryjom: Positive is that the draft is out there and being reviewed. 14:17:57 dmontalvo: We haven't modified anything from the 2013 content - we've just added additional 2.2 content. 14:17:58 q+ to say please dont have default url point to 2013 version 14:18:04 ack bruce_bailey 14:18:04 bruce_bailey, you wanted to say please dont have default url point to 2013 version 14:18:37 bruce_bailey: It was a deliberate choice for the short URL to point to the new draft. We just need to fix the warning, and ensure there is a way to reference the old 2013 version. 14:19:09 https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/NOTE-wcag2ict-20130905/ 14:19:28 maryjom: Finding the older document is not linked at the top - you need to dig down into the content a bit of the new public draft content to find it. 14:19:43 From U.S. 508 perspective, having the short URL point to working draft is not problematic. 14:19:57 q+ 14:20:04 q+ to review the "process" 14:20:08 ack bruce_bailey 14:20:19 maryjom: Since we are now getting public comments, I was looking for a process on how to review 14:20:33 zakim, next item 14:20:33 I see a speaker queue remaining and respectfully decline to close this agendum, PhilDay 14:20:37 ack Ch 14:20:37 Chuck, you wanted to review the "process" 14:20:43 zakim, next item 14:20:43 agendum 2 -- FPWD public comments -- taken up [from maryjom] 14:20:50 q+ 14:20:56 ack Ch 14:20:59 ack Chuck 14:21:39 Chuck: Mary Jo asked if there was a documented process for handling comments. AGWG has been doing it without a documented process, so asks for WCAG2ICT to follow the unofficial process. 14:22:26 ... Through whatever mechanism we get a comment, we create a GitHub issue, we work it, then reply in the GitHub issue and also send a copy back to the commenter in whichever mechanism they used. 14:22:53 GreggVan has joined #WCAG2ICT 14:23:16 GitHub issue is labelled as DRAFT RESPONSE, group reviews response, then comes to a formal resolution. Then issue changes to FORMAL RESPONSE, is sent via GitHub and whatever communication platform they used to submit 14:23:20 https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/wiki/Process-for-addressing-public-comments 14:23:33 it is so good! 14:23:35 maryjom: Has already drafted something for review to get us started 14:23:59 Link was in M Jo email 8/22. 14:24:05 ... Believe that the link above matches Chuck's description. Review and comment. 14:24:26 q+ to suggest adding disscussion 14:24:46 ack bruce_bailey 14:24:46 bruce_bailey, you wanted to suggest adding disscussion 14:24:47 ... Happy to update if it is unclear. Tried to add in timeline to help clarify and ensure timely response 14:25:05 olivia has joined #wcag2ict 14:25:14 present+ 14:25:26 bruce_bailey: Timeline is very aggressive - good aim, but might be lots of work. For issues that are filed that have multiple comments, convert into discussions so they are threaded 14:25:43 q+ to ask if this captures Bruce's suggestion 14:25:50 ack PhilDay 14:25:50 PhilDay, you wanted to ask if this captures Bruce's suggestion 14:26:36 q+ to offer philosophical thoughts on replying to public comments 14:26:41 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wcag2ict-comments/2023Aug/0000.html 14:26:54 maryjom: Now talking about the comment that we have received - see link from maryjom 14:26:55 Link to issue for response draft: https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/215 14:27:30 q? 14:27:36 q+ 14:27:40 maryjom: Issue has been created with draft response. There has been some discussion in the thread, now ready to discuss with the full task force. 14:27:40 ack chuck 14:27:40 Chuck, you wanted to offer philosophical thoughts on replying to public comments 14:27:58 q+ to see if L B on call? 14:28:10 Chuck: Offers some chair advice. Inspired by this comment, but not looked at detail of the response. 14:28:46 ... First: Chuck's advice. There were 2 specific critiques; one on the group makeup, other on the document. We had asked for comment on the document, not on the group. 14:29:30 ... Part of why we go to public comment is to get better representation - and if there is a lot of comment on a particular sector it is appropriate to invite others from that sector. 14:29:53 ... We should focus discussion now on the document, and consider representation separately 14:30:32 ... Rachelle's comment: What we are looking for is actionable suggestions. This comment was rather vague - so we could try and tease out more specific recommendations. 14:31:03 ... Hope is to get actionable, tangible changes, not vague high-level comments. 14:31:47 maryjom: [sharing screen on proposed response] 14:32:40 q+ 14:32:45 ack bruce_bailey 14:32:45 bruce_bailey, you wanted to see if L B on call? 14:33:23 i will also mention that i was a little uncomfortable that the offline email took so much time to get converted to GitHub issue 14:33:37 bruce_bailey: Checking if we had anyone from TPG on. Proposed response is good. There was too much non-public discussion so it is good that we now have the process to use GitHub. 14:33:38 +1 for proposed response 14:33:50 ack Chuck 14:34:09 also thank you Chuck for that over view -- i meant to say with my voice 14:34:31 Chuck: Rochelle & I did not look at this response in giving suggestions, but this nails it perfectly. No suggestions on improvements. 14:35:15 ... What did Bruce mean by the private discussion, and does the process resolve it? 14:36:32 bruce_bailey: We didn't have a process, so we had some offline discussion in email between Phil, Laura & Bruce, so this has now been resolved with the new process of having all responses to comments in GitHub. 14:36:32 q+ 14:36:32 ack Chuck 14:36:38 yes, i also agree with people going off line 14:36:38 Chuck: 3 individuals working on a response is fine - just making sure it is on GitHub so in the public domain 14:37:08 DRAFT RESOLUTION: Send response on kiosk comment received on 15 August, as proposed. 14:37:15 q+ 14:37:48 ack PhilDay 14:37:52 +1 from Chuck as Oracle (no chair hat) 14:38:03 DRAFT RESOLUTION: Send response on kiosk comment received on 15 August, as proposed in issue 215. 14:38:11 maryjom: Proposed content is in issue https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/215 14:38:50 +1 14:39:59 +1 14:39:59 +1 14:39:59 +1 14:39:59 +1 14:39:59 +1 14:39:59 +1 14:39:59 thanks Phil ! 14:39:59 RESOLUTION: Send response on kiosk comment received on 15 August, as proposed in issue 215. 14:40:04 zakim, next item 14:40:04 agendum 3 -- Survey Results: Review draft updates to SC Problematic for Closed Functionality -- taken up [from maryjom] 14:40:22 +1 14:40:40 TOPIC: 1.4.12 Text spacing 14:40:51 https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/55145/wcag2ict-sc-problematic-for-closed/results#xq13 14:41:33 maryjom: Gives link to survey results 14:41:33 ... and link to discussion from last week 14:41:33 discussion from last week: https://www.w3.org/2023/08/17-wcag2ict-minutes#t04 14:42:10 maryjom: Recap - there were some editorial changes, but also some more substantive input from Mike Pluke - mentioning markup language doesn't seem to fit. Also thought this SC could apply more broadly 14:42:50 maryjom: Then looked at other SCs and found an inconsistency in how we handle markup language. Other places included Status Messages, and Text Spacing SCs. 14:43:55 In Status Messages, we added some more guidance - so it was broader than just markup language. 14:43:57 q+ to say "we should avoid the term "no need to" -- that inadvertently denies a person needs. We are supposed to say if it applies or not -- not whether we think anyone has a need for this. 14:44:08 ... So we may need to change our guidance on Text Spacing 14:44:33 So refer to code/software or markup languages, rather than just referring to markup languages 14:44:43 q+ 14:44:58 Option 4 – edit removing “markup” Closed functionality software rarely supports user modification of line, paragraph, letter or word spacing. In such infrequent cases the SC applies as noted in the Guidance on Applying Success Criterion 1.4.12 to Non-Web Documents and Software. 14:45:01 ... That is a way forward, and makes the potential content for Closed Functionality to be a little easier to think about. 14:45:08 ack GreggVan 14:45:09 GreggVan, you wanted to say "we should avoid the term "no need to" -- that inadvertently denies a person needs. We are supposed to say if it applies or not -- not whether 14:45:09 ... we think anyone has a need for this. 14:45:54 GreggVan: Instead of saying whether it applies, we have stated if there is a need which is a bit unhelpful. We should talk about applicability, not need. 14:46:08 ack Chuck 14:46:57 q+ to say that *not* constraining WCAG2ICT guidance to "technology using markup language" would be helpful. 14:47:02 Chuck: Don't have to overly rely on our process, but could this be raised as a public comment as it was observed in the public draft, and then discussion is in the public domain. 14:47:13 ack bruce_bailey 14:47:13 bruce_bailey, you wanted to say that *not* constraining WCAG2ICT guidance to "technology using markup language" would be helpful. 14:47:14 maryjom: Yes, that is my intent - can be a separate comment 14:47:52 bruce_bailey: Like the idea of it being a separate discussion, as guidance should not be constrained just to technology using markup language. 14:48:15 q+ 14:48:39 ack GreggVan 14:48:52 ... but it does take us close to out of the scope. It's straightforward to apply the current SC (content implemented using markup language), but it is good to interpret more broadly 14:49:50 GreggVan: Apologies for absence. This is interesting - this is about the content on the closed product. If the closed product has the ability to change these things (like text spacing) then it should. 14:50:17 ... We are not requiring that a user agent support or provide the functionality, but if it does provide them, then the SC should apply to the content. 14:51:20 ... How do we differentiate between content and markup languages? Could be confusing 14:52:41 maryjom: [sharing guidance on status messages] 14:52:43 https://w3c.github.io/wcag2ict/#guidance-when-applying-success-criterion-4-1-3-to-non-web-documents-and-software 14:53:01 Link above is what we have in WCAG2ICT for 4.1.3 status messages 14:53:45 maryjom: We added in "or that supports status message notifications" to "content implemented using markup languages" to give broader coverage in software. 14:54:05 ... But this made us inconsistent with Text spacing SC 14:54:45 In Text Spacing we just left it as "content implemented using markup languages". 14:55:28 ... So Mary Jo will open an issue to flag this inconsistency, and will add proposals for resolution to the issue. 14:55:32 good catch @maryjom that we are not wholly consistent 14:56:31 GreggVan: Where are the options? 14:57:00 maryjom: One was in a survey, then the others arose from the meeting discussions over the last 2 weeks. 14:57:31 i like option 4 14:57:37 o Poll: Which do you prefer? 1) Option 1 – as proposed, 2) Option 2 – with edits, 3) Option 3 – edit from last meeting, 4) edit removing “markup”, or 5) Something else 14:57:48 4 14:57:53 4 14:58:24 (but OK with 3 if others prefer it) 14:58:37 4 but remove the last infrequent 14:58:39 and it applies even when not implemented in markup languages 14:58:42 4 (from Oracle, no chair hat) 14:58:43 q+ 14:58:53 ack GreggVan 14:58:59 4 14:59:48 GreggVan: you say rarely supports. Remove in such infrequent cases, and replace with Where the software supports it... 15:00:50 Closed functionality software rarely supports user modification of ... In closed functionality software where any of these are supported, the SC applies ... 15:01:25 Add phrase: If closed functionality software supports any of these modifications, 15:01:32 Sam has joined #wcag2ict 15:01:39 q+ 15:02:07 I am not in agreement with all of Gregs comment 15:02:08 GreggVan: Remove the word any 15:02:14 @gregg, yes the iPhone being closed functionality is interesting discussion 15:02:57 maryjom: Will continue this next week. Apologies to Sam for being on the queue - please write it down in the issue and we can discuss next week. 15:03:05 rrsagent, draft minutes 15:03:07 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2023/08/24-wcag2ict-minutes.html PhilDay 16:24:08 maryjom_ has joined #wcag2ict 16:24:15 zakim, end meeting 16:24:15 As of this point the attendees have been maryjom, PhilDay, Chuck, bruce_bailey, ShawnT, shadi, Daniel, Devanshu, Bryan_Trogdon, olivia 16:24:17 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 16:24:18 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2023/08/24-wcag2ict-minutes.html Zakim 16:24:24 I am happy to have been of service, maryjom_; please remember to excuse RRSAgent.
