Did go through and was approved for 1st public draft, but it isn't going to be out officially on 17th April 14:06:56 Editor's draft is fairly current - just a few minor changes 14:07:04 Comments due 30 days after that date 14:07:30 But we still need to look at it in order to make comments. 14:07:57 Editorial changes to WCAG2Mobile draft: https://github.com/w3c/matf/commit/fd14078052bf23707a0585b75e8b1ece8819a380 14:08:26 s/WCAG4Mobile/WCAG2Mobile 14:09:21 Mary Jo gave presentation on WCAG2ICT at ITI accessibility committee meeting. Comment was made by Rob Haverty (Adobe) on Reflow, which referred to "content". He said this might be confusing. 14:09:27 https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/625 14:09:36 q+ 14:09:58 q+ to pitch wcag2 backlog 14:10:03 Content - some may not think it includes all aspects of the user interface - they might just think it is the document. 14:10:03 Rob suggested that a change to definition would be useful. 14:10:06 ack bruce_bailey 14:10:06 bruce_bailey, you wanted to pitch wcag2 backlog 14:10:46 bruce_bailey: Reflow document was redone - so good to get feedback on it. Understanding reflow has been recently updated. 14:11:19 ack GreggVan 14:11:23 This is what reflow states: 1.4.10 Reflow: Content can be presented without loss of information or functionality, and without requiring scrolling in two dimensions for: 14:11:51 GreggVan: saw this issue in EN 301 549 - and changed from "content" to "software". Otherwise some people could assume content was just 3rd party content. 14:11:58 Slightly OT but recently refresh Understanding Reflow guidance: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/reflow.html 14:12:42 s/recently refresh/recently refreshed/ 14:12:42 GreggVan: With reflow you may not expect UI to reflow, but if you changed width, then you would expect responsive layout to accommodate this change. 14:13:09 GreggVan: Supports the idea of looking at changes. 14:13:38 Definition from editor's draft: WCAG 2 defines content as: 14:13:38 information and sensory experience to be communicated to the user by means of a user agent, including code or markup that defines the content's structure, presentation, and interactions 14:13:38 For non-web content it is necessary to view this a bit more broadly. Within WCAG2ICT, the term “content” is used as follows: 14:13:38 content (non-web content) (as used in WCAG2ICT) 14:13:40 information and sensory experience to be communicated to the user by means of [software], including code or markup that defines the content's structure, presentation, and interactions 14:13:40 NOTE 14:13:40 Non-web content occurs in two places; documents and software. When content occurs in a document, a user agent is needed in order to communicate the content's information and sensory experience to the user. When content occurs in software, a separate user agent isn't needed — the software itself performs that function. 14:13:41 Within WCAG2ICT wherever “content” or “web content” appears in a success criterion it is replaced with “content” using the definition above. 14:14:20 This will need somebody to go through each SC to see which uses content, and consider changes. This is tracked in https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/625 14:14:27 q+ 14:14:41 I went through reflow on https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/4273 per the effort to update the understanding. I think it may be on AG to update terminology and if we deviate, we should update glossary 14:14:57 s/Reflow document was redone/WCAG2 Understanding Reflow document was redone/ 14:16:02 FWIW, emails to listserv seem good to me for memorializing -- but not for conversation 14:16:40 GreggVan: Has sent a few emails with updates from EN that may mean we should make improvements to WCAG2ICT 14:16:58 GreggVan: Will add these as issues into GitHub 14:18:15 GreggVan: EN to release version at the end of April. 14:18:28 q? 14:18:33 ack ChrisLoiselle 14:19:04 ChrisLoiselle: Reflow - put a related issue on the updates to understanding: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/4273. If it is a WCAG update - then that could be done by AG 14:19:24 GreggVan: What is our timeline? 14:19:41 maryjom: Somewhat open-ended - we are still analysing what we need to change. 14:22:03 q+ 14:22:41 ack phil 14:27:35 GreggVan: Would be useful to have TF review latest draft of EN to check their interpretation of WCAG2ICT, and ensure we are consistent. (also to check for updates) 14:27:39 zakim, next item 14:27:40 agendum 2 -- PR to update WCAG2ICT overview page to incorporate our "explainer" content -- taken up [from maryjom] 14:27:56 +1 that feedback to EN 301 549 from this group is very important! 14:27:58 Link to Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hyei09Viby1bCoZnDLYwY9VWpzRvteK9pqt4v9sWCJE/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.wlcptmhola14 14:28:12 PR 1197: https://github.com/w3c/wai-website/pull/1197#pullrequestreview-2754045653 14:28:33 We have a PR that took the content from the "explainer" doc - link above to original Google doc, then Chris took that content and put it into the WCAG2ICT Overview page. 14:28:34 Built page: https://deploy-preview-1197--wai-website.netlify.app/standards-guidelines/wcag/non-web-ict/ 14:29:27 q+ 14:29:34 Change for group to review & comment on this new page.

But definition of view will change (as it is a WCAG3 requirement), and as you add content, this becomes a new view / UI context. So this becomes even more complex 14:49:23 maryjom: Intent was partly so that a user could identify what application they are switching to (or web page). 14:49:46 ... As if you have a windowed environment, you can identify which one to switch to. 14:51:05 q+ to ask if we currently say that 2.4.2 should not apply to software? 14:51:12 ack bruce_bailey 14:51:12 bruce_bailey, you wanted to ask if we currently say that 2.4.2 should not apply to software? 14:51:16 For now we could say that this SC should not apply to software. 14:51:42 bruce_bailey: Latest suggestion from Gregg was that we shouldn't state that it cannot or should not apply 14:52:28 GreggVan: We should say that it does not apply. Gregg agrees with this, as does Bruce 14:52:32 q+ 14:52:40 maryjom: Just add a note to explain why it doesn't apply 14:52:46 (to non-web content) 14:53:58 GreggVan: Trademark restrictions on descriptive words - which is partly why we have this challenge with meaningful names/titles 14:53:59 POLL: Do you agree that WCAG2ICT should add a note that 2.4.2 Page titled should not apply to non-web software with reasoning that software names used as window titles typically do not describe the topic or purpose? 14:54:09 +1 14:54:13 q? 14:54:35 bruce_bailey: Created a PR. 14:55:10 maryjom: But there is not an issue on this specific issue, and then incorporate all discussion that occurred on email until now. Then make proposals to content change within that issue. 14:55:15 ack LauraM 14:55:25 LauraM: I thought that we could not say that something does not apply 14:55:52 q+ 14:56:03 ... Could say it might be difficult to apply - rather than stating categorically that something does not apply. 14:56:04 If we can say, "this does not apply" -- i think that is great. But I didn't think we could say that. 14:56:07 q? 14:56:08 q? 14:56:12 ack GreggVan 14:56:13 ack GreggVan 14:56:48 +1 to LauraM concern 14:56:50 We have in our new work statement: Where known, give examples of some Success Criteria which may not be applicable to a particular non-web technology 14:56:53 GreggVan: Agrees with LauraM. So all we could say is that we found it difficult to apply this to software, or it may be difficult to apply this to software, since the name/title may not be meaningful. 14:57:17 Additional bullet: As needed, suggested changes to success criteria normative language to more clearly align with non-web software and document technologies. 14:57:57 New work statement does allow us slightly more scope to comment on non-applicability. We can also suggest SC changes where needed. 14:58:30 Some of these normative changes were discussed in the email conversation. 14:58:58 Who will be opening Issue in Repo? 14:59:24 maryjom to open issue and include this content in the issue. 14:59:32 I prefer PR 15:00:00 RRSAgent, draft minutes 15:00:02 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/04/10-wcag2ict-minutes.html PhilDay 15:01:11 Didn't get to keyboard Note 1 edits - is in an issue. 15:01:16 PR will be created for review. 15:01:29 ...
