New Business

janina: IRC problems will hopefully be fixed tomorrow. Report disconnects after tomorrow to Janina and Mathew

Publication Strategy

janina: made a few changes to the messaging

Fazio: also made some changes and sent PR to janina

janina: to proceed to management, we need a date that we anticipate being ready

Fazio: that largely depends on the spreadsheet.

janina: for 1.0 they have to be in sync (the spreadsheet and the narrative)

jkline: we should be able to do it in the next couple of sessions

janina: that sounds like mid-Feb

jkline: added a new issue about financial planning and budgeting

Fazio: Stacey and Jason had previously mentioned that also.

jkline and Fazio: we can review as new business at the next meeting

Github Issue ##226 Add an explanatory section on dimension goals and metrics

<Fazio> w3c/maturity-model#226

<gb> Issue 226 Add an explanatory section on dimension goals and metrics (by jasonjgw)

Fazio: came from Jason, we have previously discussed it. Stacey has a proposed result

response*

Fazio: read the issue out loud

<Fazio> We're talking about adding a short message about the subjectivity of setting goals and metrics.

<Fazio> Here's a starting place. Wondering if this is on the right track to address the concern? Would love feedback and more insights to what you'd want to have added for clarity (especially for those who wouldn't be accessibility experts):

<Fazio> Creating accessibility metrics and goals is subjective. Similar to creating goals and metrics for products and features, you must consider the organization type, needs, maturity, staffing, funding, and yearly objectives.

Sheri_B-H: Notes Jason was asking for dimension specific definitions

Sheri_B-H: Might we want to abstract this up earlier in the doc? So it shows up once and not multiple times in each dimension?

Sheri_B-H: Original goal was that this model would work from a single person shop to a multinational

Sheri_B-H:

We need to stay vague for that reason

Mark_Miller:

Agree

Sheri_B-H: Looking to make a proposal ...

Section 1.1 About

jefMuch in the About that won't be familiar -- perhaps a one line

Sheri_B-H: keep it vague, don't make it dimension specific

Jeff: Agree we don't want to be dimension specific

jkline: has some language in his book he can donate

Sheri_B-H: Also comes down to org type: corporation departments also will have differences

Fazio: goal definition best left to the people doing the assessment

Sheri_B-H: Ex: Someone could use our model and create say "Health" maturity model--but that's not us

<Fazio> Sheri and Jeff will write up an explanation
