RESOLUTION: Merge #558 and add to FPWD

Subjective applicability

<trevor> https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/pull/555/files

Trevor: 2 changes, cut down the subjective applicability, text contrast example
... 2 approaches to writing ACT rules for Text Contrast example

Kathy: I like it, change it from impossible to accessibility requirement

Trevor: I am unable to state it clearly and will take recommendation to make it more general and stronger

Catherine: Recommend says it's not a 'you have to have it', so you can take it out

Wilco: We shouldn't have the work recommend and take out 'we'

Helen: what about suggested

Wilco: Preferred

Trevor: It is not clear how it would apply to other examples, without having to affect the applicability and to describe it well enough

Kathy: Include it in Expectation section

Wilco: I don't think we need to go this far

Trevor: Writing technique and not a requirement
... normative document, affects the requirement mapping

Wilco: I think it works without the second example
... no need to contrast it with second example

Trevor: Jean-Yves was a fan of the contrasting examples

Wilco: I am okay with it

Kathy: Maybe make example 1 as preferred and example 2 as less preferred

Trevor: Is this useful or is it a bad practice?

Wilco: It is in writing practices territory
... I like this example, and would like to see it in CG writing document
... it is the preferred place than here

Trevor: we have other examples, so I am okay with leaving this

<Wilco> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/blob/develop/pages/design/rule-design.md

Trevor: and moving it to CG writing doc

Kathy: Do you want to keep the example in without explaining more?

Trevor: I don't think it adds anything new
... Last comment, having the list of criterias for different examples
... do I need to add more info about it?

Wilco: I am okay with that

Trevor: I am pretty much good for the working draft and can we get the voting

RESOLUTION: Merged PR #555 and add it to FPWD

Video element visual-only content has transcript

Wilco: open conversation on whether transcript needs to be visible or open to certain AT
... we should get an answer on it soon
... okay with having non-streaming video examples
... wait for response from WCAG on this, Tom

Tom: need to dig into the notes

Wilco: we have media alternative rule which uses a different language
... should it be text or transcript? thought?
... is there a difference between, media alternative text and text transcript?

Tom: there is a minor difference but kind of the same

Wilco: what is the difference? labels?

Tom: the identification is handled differently

Wilco: Text transcript is vague, how about using clearly labeled location and from what web page

Tom: explain more in detail

Wilco: concerned about gif/animations
... do we like the suggested updated better? to include more details

Kathy: is text description same as text alternatives?
... definition in understanding

Wilco: 'document' word is vague in the understanding section is vague
... okay with making the changes?
... to make changes to the transit rule

Video element visual-only content is media alternative for text

Wilco: Rules format question will be tackled separately
... Wilco to update the rule
... there is no expectation 3 but the background section refers to expectation 2 and 3

Tom: get rid of the background

Wilco: both the rules are pretty similar, if we remove the expectation 2, which I don't think is useful
... alternative for time-based media or media alternative for text
... can be treated as same

Tom: the difference is the indication
... technically they are the same

Wilco: Kathy does TT makes a difference?

Kathy: we didn't, next version might
... there is a test but it doesn't get executed until it is labeled as media alternative for text

Wilco: audio and video example
... will pick this up next week
... everyone look at this and see if we can deprecated the rule
... fill out the surveys
