11: 08 <Zakim> agendum 1 -- Trigger warnings -- taken up [from julierawe]

11: 09 <julierawe> Frankie is in Image and Media. Parallel work is going well. Focusing first on captions.

11: 10 <julierawe> Frankie We are starting with one requirement, doing it together, and then will divide up the work.

11: 10 <julierawe> Frankie We have detailed minutes to support asynchronous work and use of AT

11: 11 <julierawe> Frankie The group is working well so far.

11: 11 <julierawe> tiffanyburtin My barrier is my health. Hoping to attend more soon.

11: 12 <julierawe> tiffanyburtin I'm in the other images group—Visual Appearance that includes Text Appearance. DJ is aware of COGA work.

11: 12 <julierawe> kirkwood I'm in Help and Triggers group. Going well so far.

11: 14 <julierawe> Please bookmark this tracking doc

11: 16 <julierawe> I also linked to this tracking doc in the WCAG 3 section of COGA action items: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15HtPkkYx1CIl6bAwP2nsSZKhqTVbqcuMDRz5RmtmvXg/edit?tab=t.0

11: 20 <julierawe> Rashmi will share Trigger Warnings draft issue paper with her WCAG 3 group

11: 20 <julierawe> zakim, next item

11: 20 <Zakim> agendum 2 -- Appropriate tone -- taken up [from julierawe]

11: 22 <julierawe> julierawe Does anyone in COGA have insights into origin of Appropriate Tone requirement?

11: 22 <julierawe> Frankie I was part of TPAC conversations in 2023. "Appropriate tone" came up about not tricking people with the tone.

11: 22 <julierawe> Frankie Gregg may have insights

11: 23 <julierawe> Frankie Examples such as creating false urgency or artificial urgency

11: 23 <julierawe> Frankie Another example is misleading people in financial situations

11: 23 <julierawe> Frankie It is more about deception

11: 23 <julierawe> kirkwood Or triggering anxiety on purpose

11: 26 <julierawe> julierawe Sounds like a better fit for WCAG 3's "Safety and Deception" path

11: 26 <julierawe> Frankie There is a plain language element, making clear the meaning but without creating too much anxiety in the process

11: 29 <julierawe> Frankie Logical to include all aspects of writing in Plain Language

11: 30 <julierawe> Frankie Gregg gave an example of condescending too

11: 31 <julierawe> Frankie Appealing to false authority, false facts

11: 32 <julierawe> kirkwood You want the tone consistent with the voice or brand of the publisher

11: 32 <julierawe> Frankie This the work of style guides

11: 33 <julierawe> Frankie My job for 20 years was creating internal guidance for content creators

11: 35 <julierawe> julierawe I could see PLain Language including an assertion about tone

11: 36 <julierawe> Frankie Think about all of the potential pitfalls to the brand voice, including ethics and logical fallacies

11: 37 <julierawe> Frankie An assertion is probably the right way to introduce tone to WCAG 3 but would be great to have supplemental guidance on how to do that

11: 37 <julierawe> Action item: julierawe will reach out to Gregg to see if he has additional examples beyond the ones that Frankie shared

11: 38 <julierawe> zakim, next item

11: 38 <Zakim> agendum 3 -- Any other WCAG 3 issues -- taken up [from julierawe]

11: 38 <julierawe> Any other issues with WCAG 3 right now?

11: 39 <julierawe> Frankie Concerned about low participation and fast deadlines

11: 39 <julierawe> Frankie These are not new issues

11: 42 <julierawe> Action item: julierawe to suggest to Rachael that AG builds in time for a review sprint

11: 42 <julierawe> julierawe We need time to review and that's very hard when the paths are supposed to keep cranking out drafts

11: 43 <julierawe> julierawe Especially hard for COGA members who are drafting WCAG 3 but also working on COGA issues papers and next version of Making Content Usable

11: 43 <julierawe> tiffanyburtin Also hard for members with disabilities or health issues to keep up with the volume of work

11: 43 <julierawe> julierawe We need more than a week or two weeks to review pull requests

11: 46 <julierawe> tiffanyburtin Conferences like CSUN also make it hard to stick to these timelines

11: 47 <julierawe> rrsagent, make minutes
