q- later
13:38:20 [janina]
jasonjgw: Notes XAUR scope has been narrower than what might be wanted now
13:40:07 [janina]
Dylan: notes jgw pointed scope of xaur; so should update or create new doc?
13:41:07 [matatk]
scribe+
13:41:37 [matatk]
janina: Speaking about if we'd take up updating the XAUR, I see no reason not to - though I appreciate the scoping discussion would factor into this. We would have to look at our program of work.
13:42:11 [matatk]
janina: When we talk about normative standards, we are talking about documents that feature RFC 2119 terminology (MUST, SHOULD, MAY). They may also contain more informative parts too.
13:42:40 [matatk]
janina: The XAUR is not a normative document. APA WG can create such a document (we have before). ARIA started within APA's predecessor WG.
13:43:38 [matatk]
janina: As well as normative standards, we have 'Note' track documents that tend to be about best practice etc. XAUR fits into that group. We would need to talk about whether/when we may be at the right time to make a normative document, and could publish one later.
13:44:07 [matatk]
janina: However, don't want to get in the way of someone working on this. We could happily review, and provide feedback.
13:44:12 [janina]
ack ja
13:44:12 [Zakim]
janina, you wanted to discuss update
13:44:19 [janina]
ack mi
13:44:43 [janina]
MichaelC: Notes W3C will accept documents handed over from other orgs; that's expected
13:45:32 [janina]
MichaelC: Expects MSF outputs could inform multiple pubs from W3C; WCAG, Immersive Web, XAUR, etc
13:46:12 [janina]
MichaelC: Also multiple ways to organize the work
13:47:19 [Dylan]
q+
13:47:33 [janina]
jasonjgw: Speculates that input to WCAG3 might be more helpful than an independent guidelines doc
13:47:55 [MichaelC]
q+
13:48:00 [janina]
jasonjgw: So it's a strategic question of what to work on and where
13:48:05 [MichaelC]
q+ to mention scope of first charter
13:48:16 [janina]
ack dy
13:48:38 [janina]
Dylan: long term is indeed WCAG type; esp with regulatory impact
13:49:40 [janina]
Dylan: Notes that current practice to create web page or PowerPoint with same content is not equivalent; separate but equal isn't equal
13:50:08 [janina]
MichaelC: Notes MSF has 2-year charter policy
13:50:30 [janina]
MichaelC: Current proposed charter does not reach proposing guidelines yet
13:50:41 [janina]

q+
13:52:19 [MichaelC]
q+ to mention reports, liaison
13:52:30 [janina]
Dylan: Would appreciate a rapid feedback cycle; notes deep experience in RQTF in this work
13:53:46 [janina]
Dylan: Have big organizational questions that would benefit from RQTF experience; regular checkins?

MichaelC, you wanted to mention reports, liaison
13:54:22 [janina]
MichaelC: MSF produces 3-month heartbeats
13:54:39 [janina]
MichaelC: Suggests a regular checkin helpful; clearly also participation in MSF
13:55:08 [janina]
jasonjgw: So is there an immediate step?
13:55:33 [janina]
MichaelC: No immediate step; MSF should reach out when we get more org'd
13:55:51 [janina]
Dylan: Sounds good
13:56:31 [Dylan]
