Visibility to comments and responses to them through the JTB system is probably better, although GitLab would still work. 14:06:38 Mike_Pluke: Put comments in the JTB forms. 14:07:09 ... good to duplicate existing comments from GitLab into the form - so all information is in 1 place 14:07:29 GreggVan: 2 suggestions. Provide suggestions, don't just raise issues without a solution. 14:07:59 ... If it does relate to a GitLab issue, then include the reference to the GitLab issue as well in the JTB form 14:09:40 We are late in the process, and very few people to work on it (TF is disolved). So always add suggestions on any issue or problem raised. 14:10:10 present+ 14:10:30 maryjom: If there are any challenges with WCAG2ICT work - then EN team should feel free to bring it to Mary Jo to then raise with the WCAG2ICT Task Force and make sure we catch it quickly. 14:11:57 +1 for "source" over "horse's mouth" 14:12:01 zakim, next item 14:12:01 agendum 2 -- PR Proposal approvals -- taken up [from maryjom] 14:12:15 First one is not actually a PR 14:12:15 TOPIC: Issue 620 – Closed functionality 14:12:25 https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/620#issuecomment-2963514062 14:12:26 Link to issue 620: https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/620 14:12:38 Link to proposed answer: https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/620#issuecomment-2963514062 14:12:50 We had talked about this a few months ago, but never created a formal answer. 14:13:08 So Mary Jo proposed an answer that needs reviewing. 14:13:23 Proposed answer: DRAFT TF ANSWER (not approved yet): 14:13:23 Assistive technology (AT) is a defined term with guidance in the form of word replacements in WCAG2ICT. In the definition there are several examples provided of different assistive technologies. Closed functionality is any functionality that prevents users from attaching, installing or using that variety of assistive technology. An alternative 14:13:23 keyboard is only one form of AT. Some ICT is closed to some types of AT but not others, and would have closed functionality that may require some alternate way for users to access and use the ICT because that form of AT cannot be installed. 14:14:52 maryjom: Any discussion needed? 14:14:53 +1 and i just added thumbs up on github 14:15:03 +1 from me 14:15:17 DRAFT RESOLUTION: To resolve issue 620, use the proposed answer, as-is 14:15:22 +1 14:15:23 +1 14:16:10 GreggVan: questions "... that variety of assistive technology" - limited only to those technologies listed as examples in the definition of AT. 14:17:12 GreggVan's proposal: Assistive technology (AT) is a defined term with guidance in the form of word replacements in WCAG2ICT.
